not just gay but ULTRA ULTRA-GAY. gayest quilt fabric ever.

[rmd]

Gay quilt fabric. no, seriously. GAY quilt fabric.

kathrynt: on a totally different topic, did I ever show you the gayest quilt fabric in the world?
kathrynt: http://www.equilter.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=94841
rmd: oh my GOD.
rmd: that's gayer than a pride parade float.
rmd: that's nearly nsfw levels of gay.
rmd: quilt fabric. BY TOM O FINLAND.
kathrynt: there are a couple of others of these: http://www.equilter.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=81464 and http://www.equilter.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=63989 -- but I think the first is the gayest.
rmd: now i am tempted to make a GAY GAY GAY quilt.
rmd: full of GAY.
kathrynt: Gay! Gay! Gay!
kathrynt: I actually have a great, easy pattern for such a thing, and a much cleverer and harder pattern.
rmd: SO GAY.
rmd: ULTRAGAY.
kathrynt: The first involves cutting the fabric into 10" squares -- the dudes are about 12" tall, so chances are very strong that each square will feature bits of muscley bodies but not the entire figure.
kathrynt: Isolated body parts: gayer.
rmd: oh man.
rmd: a quilt WITH CROTCH SHOTS.
kathrynt: The second, harder one involves cutting the fabric into its component repeats and stacking 8 of them together, carefully pinning so that you have 8 identical pieces of fabric. Then you cut the fabric into 45" wedges and sew them together into PINWHEELS OF GAY.
kathrynt: This method is called "stack and whack," for extra gay.
rmd: PINWHEELS OF GAY.
kathrynt: http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/1087777357012224424HobAFg
kathrynt: Imagine if each wedge had a torso or a crotch in it.
kathrynt: you should totally make one and put it on your guest bed.
kathrynt: AND there's your rainbow fabric: http://www.equilter.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=112427
rmd: oh god!
kathrynt: SEE??!
rmd: SO GAY.

Alas, we decided there really wasn't a way to do an equivalently LESBORIFFIC DYKETASTIC gay chick quilt:

kathrynt: I'm trying to figure out if you could do an equivalently lesbian quilt.
kathrynt: There's this: http://www.equilter.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=76780
rmd: something covered with mediocre artwork of kd, martina, phranc, etc.
rmd: that's a little too studio 54 and not enough Lesbian Nation overalls
kathrynt: or this: http://www.equilter.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=82999
rmd: see, there you go.
rmd: i'm going to have to post a big chunk of this conversation to lj. you realize that, right?
kathrynt: I do.
kathrynt: Or this: http://www.equilter.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=109414
kathrynt: Or this!! http://www.equilter.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=87447&
kathrynt: Bad artwork: check
rmd: oh god.
rmd: you need to match it up with some androgynous looking 50's guys who look enough like eisenhauer-era butches to pass.
kathrynt: Sash it with this: http://www.equilter.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=110048
rmd: ha!
kathrynt: Back it with this: http://www.equilter.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=108640
kathrynt: but sadly the gay one is funnier
rmd: yeah.

Ah, yes, I was waiting for "Cowboy Hunks" to show up. Eddie's Quilting Bee had that in their front window (in Mountain View CA, not exactly the gay epicenter of the South Bay) for ages. :-)

I think this:

can give the fireboys a run for their gay dollars.

*gigglesnort* This entire post is made of awesome.

[roozle.livejournal.com]

*ow my eyes*

I was compelled you see to click on every link. I may never be the same.

[browngirl.livejournal.com]

I wonder what a quilt of my icon would look like?

[sparkymonster.livejournal.com]

[deguspice.livejournal.com]

And then there is this fabric:

[miss-bowtruckle.livejournal.com]

You know that now I must make this...

*ponders quilted gun cosy for rmd*

[rmd.livejournal.com]

one of the bits of the conversation i edited out before posting to lj was me saying "you know who needs to see this? my friend [sparkeymonster-realname]!"

[tb]

Sew funny! Y'all haz me in stitches!

[sparkymonster.livejournal.com]

*cackles madly*

Strangely the material is primarily bought by straight women who do quilting and stuff. WEIRD

[evwhore.livejournal.com]

This gets a POTD. And now I want a quilt.

[achinhibitor.livejournal.com]

Just looking at that fabric and I hear the invisible backing choir singing "Y-M-C-A!"

[whitebird.livejournal.com]

Yes, the first example is indeed the gayest one.

I prefer the fabric with the females in shorts. You know, because Mary Ann is so hot. :)

And that is a hysterical conversation!

[earthling177.livejournal.com]

What are you talking about, a backing for that quilt? Nooo! That quilt deserves to be made reversible, lesbians on one side, gay folks on the other. Please save some of the borders/sashing for us bi folks! ;-)

[catness.livejournal.com]

Very very gay. I hope they make one with cops, too.

[miss-chance.livejournal.com]

That sounds FAAAAAAAABulous!

Plus, bonus, there's plenty of time to finish it before my birthday in December. ;-)

[miss-chance.livejournal.com]

gilana gave me a carry-all tote made out out of the Babes in the Woods (http://www.equilter.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=87447&) fabric. I totally love it. :)

[kathrynt.livejournal.com]

No, see, my idea was to back the Big Gay Quilt with this: http://www.equilter.com/cgi-bin/webc.cgi/st_prod.html?p_prodid=102293&sid=31U9Hz2D8F1g0VS-28109356348.b8

[flit.livejournal.com]

I vote for the pinwheel of gay!

That is such wonderful fabric....

[keren-s.livejournal.com]

Wow, even the color names are gay!
Flame & Cherry Red, Chai, Saddle Tan, Sand, Delft & Steel Blue...

I'm glad I wasn't drinking my tea

[drwex]

"slack and whack". Oh Em GEE.

[hanseth.livejournal.com]

I totally need a "Babes in the Woods" quilt backed with the John Deere fabric. Seriously this needs to happen.
