This quilt was in a thrift store in Vacaville, CA, a few years ago and was posted on a Facebook page I’m part of dedicated to weird thrift store items. I’m not the person who posted it, but I’ve been intrigued ever since. The person who took this photo doesn’t have it; she was scared of it and only took this photo.

Observations: it’s probably a glass of water, not jelly. It’s blue, jelly doesn’t run like that. tears?

The “bacon” is the sandwich, but on its side, as you can tell by the same color as the crust of the bread. If it were bacon, it would be red like the lid

There is an x or - or + where the sandwich touches all three items, gate, mail and phone

envelope, microwave, oven, bed or something else?

gate, fence or fries? From above, I would say it’s a gate, it also has a handle

quilt-inception, the phone has the same number of buttons as the squares in the quilt

A story starting with blue read from left to right, then brown, still without any real meaning

Communication quilt? No. no one will want soggy peanut butter bread

Misheard Song Lyrics / Inside Joke

Penicillin

You can add water to stale bread and bake it to make it fresh again

A scientific experiment with moldy bread, but never made with peanut butter, from what I can tell

All starting with p?

Something to do with prison

What are your theories?

    It is funny and fun. I bet whoever made it would be a hoot to talk to. I also wonder if the blue liquid is actually water or some other liquid and they didn’t want to screw their color palette up or what they had was limited.

      Even though it’s kinda nonsensical, it’s rather fun to pass your time making stories based on images. It’s what school made us do sometimes at tests, huh? So we gotta do it for fun too sometimes.

      PS: I decided letting my schizophrenia make a story about it, here you go:

      I know I'm tweaking A LOT here, but um

      To me, the PB thing looks more like medicine than peanut butter, so:

      1. Bread: A person.

      2. A phone: Spreading the secret

      3. A glass of something: The secret itself (which must be something bad—you’ll understand why)

      4. Fence: The secret was kept/happened without anyone seeing.

      5. Wet Bread: The person accepted what they did, “absorbed” it, and didn’t tell anyone, but they’re still acting a little strange. (Wet bread still looks kinda weird)

      6. Envelope: More about telling the secret, this time to people farther away

      7. Medicine: The person who kept the secret was mentally unstable

      8. Bacon and Phone: The bacon heard about the secret

      9. Bread and Cheese: The cheese has dark spots. Mold? Maybe. The secret is something genuinely “rotten.”

      10. Bacon, Fence, and Cross: The bacon went to investigate and found out (+ and - because one bacon tried to deny it)

      11. Bacons: Just the Bacons themselves

      12. Bacons, Envelope, and Cross: The Bacons reveal the secret beyond their circle (authorities?)

      EDIT: CHANGED THE + AND - MEANING

        Ha! That is a fun explanation. I’m almost convinced you made the quilt yourself

          Geez, I wouldn’t have the skills to, my hands are too shaky for such :(

          Also, thanks. I’m quite imaginative at times.
