So here's my new, updated hypothetical Hostess quilt:
In the upper left corner, that's a coconut and pastel pink
Update: Due to popular demand, I'm adding a Suzy-Q:
And an Orange Cupcake:
Please feel free to use this idea to make a real or virtual quilt of your own! All I ask is that you send me a pic and link back to this post!
Update: Various people, and Wikipedia, are reminding me of more Hostess treats, like the Fruit Pies and the neon-green Sno Balls for Halloween (Thanks, Antonija). So I turned the 9-patch into a 15-patch:
Now I'm starting to feel more than a little nauseated. Maybe I should make this quilt. Just looking at it might stop me from eating junk.
UPDATE: Check out this wedding cake. http://pinterest.com/pin/117586240241454136/. There are actually quite a lot of them on Pinterest. I'm guessing they're for the weddings of 11-year-olds.
This is terrific!! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThe orange cupcakes...I'd forgotten about those! They were terrific (at least to a 10 year old's palette).
ReplyDeleteThanks Cathy!

Debbie, I'd forgotten them too! A friend reminded me. I don't think I ever ate one, though! Thanks for the comment!
ReplyDeleteI am on a diet and you are making me sooooo hungry. BTW, how do you do the graphics? I'm ignorant.
ReplyDeleteCheryl, this is making me hungry too...and I also am on a diet...I need to change the subject! Maybe some iconic broccoli company will close!?
ReplyDeleteI do all my graphics in CorelDraw, which I love and is relatively intuitive. I find it much easier than Illustrator. Happy to tell you more via email, if you like!
You don't realize how much you miss something till it is gone. :(
ReplyDeleteSo true, Beth!
ReplyDeleteHmm, hypothetical quilt about things that are only hypothetically food items.
ReplyDeletePoint well taken, Wistarn!!! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteReally awesome, Cathy! I love it and cannot wait till you make it for real!
ReplyDeleteYou may have a long wait, Antonija!
DeletePlus the need for a memorial quilt might vanish suddenly - Bimbo (no kidding) might buy Hostess! http://www.marketplace.org/topics/business/food-and-drink/mexican-company-bimbo-eyeing-hostess#.UKq5b8sNDPk.facebook
This is a hoot! I've never eaten any of the Hostess line except an occasion Twinkie when I was young. But this quilt is such a humorous memorial to them all.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it, Morit. The world might be a healthier place without these "foods", but it definitely won't be a funnier place!
