Love It or Hate It? Heavy Metal Quilt

Since I live with someone who's been a dedicated, die-hard heavy metal fan since pre-teendom, I can say with absolute certainty that my husband would love to have this God Bless the Children of the Beast quilt from quilter Boo Davis.

Since I live with someone who's been a dedicated, die-hard heavy metal fan since pre-teendom, I can say with absolute certainty that my husband would love to have this God Bless the Children of the Beast quilt from quilter Boo Davis. Me, I'm not so sure if it's the right fit for our home. I do love the quilter's tough attitude and creative designs, but I'm not sold on buying one of her quilts myself.
However, I will be picking up Davis's new book Dare To Be Square Quilting at the end of this month. Interested in learning more about this heavy metal quilter? Check out this New York Times article.
