Son. This is how you make a Ron Swanson quilt.

You see, I was kind of hoping it would be a series of panels detailing Ron Swanson's various feats, or a set of themes based on the Ron Swanson Pyramid of Greatness. Or that quilting is yet another of Ron Swanson's talents, and that he has made one employing a number of traditional Indianan motifs.

Yeah, it's a perfectly good quilt, I guess...

If this is not made of all the bacon and eggs you have, I will be extremely disappointed.

You may have thought you heard me say I wanted a lot of bacon and eggs, but what I said was: Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.

Offerman, Mullally and Alison Brie rip bongs to promote his new film.

I will never be able to look at Trudy Campbell the same way again.

Maybe you would prefer knitting a Elvis tapestry?

Actually, if Ron Swanson made a quilt, it would likely be a tribute to every steak he's ever eaten.

Forwarded this to my quilt-making wife. *fingers crossed*

A quilt would be a good medium to elaborate on the Ron Swanson "Pyramid of Greatness."

That would look awful on a bed.

Is the quilt bacon, steak and scotch scented?

Straight on point, just bias, bigstich and blocks. Anything more and this becomes lace making.

This reminds me of Salvador Dali's portrait of Abraham Lincoln. I saw it in real life when I was 12 and was amazed by it.
