This is a great quilt. The houses are so... surreal.

At my grandparents' house

We loved going to my grandparents' house when we were kids. It was probably our very favorite thing to do in the whole world. We always went once a month or so, and there were just so many fun things to do there, we thought. My grandparents' house was old and rambling - to the point of being eccentric, really - and my grandfather would take us riding around in the cow pasture (more fun than it sounds, at least I thought so when I was little) and my grandmother would bake and let us eat the batter, and there were barn cats and so usually kittens, and it was better than an amusement park, all the way around.
