When we got our first pop-up camper I made quilts for the beds, as sheets and quilts are so much nicer to sleep in than sleeping bags. You can see the quilts I made in this post. We slept under these for 9 years in our comfy little pop-up. However, last fall we decided it was time to trade in that camper for a larger one with a bathroom and a hot water tank. As we've gotten older we prefer not "roughing it" as much as we used to. (Backpacking, sleeping on the ground under the stars, etc.) So we got a new, roomier pop-up with just what we wanted. (To see pictures of the inside and floor plan click here.
This one also has larger beds - king size! - and our sheets and quilts no longer fit the beds. We used them - without sheets - on our trip to the beach, but it wasn't the same as having nicely made-up beds. King size sheets are on their way and should arrive on Tuesday. We just need new quilts. So two, king-size shoo fly quilts will decorate the interior as soon as I can get them made. I know there is plenty of scraps in my basket to make the 264 blocks I need. Now I need to get sewing!

how wonderful! camping is such fun and can understand the need for the upgrade. there are levels of "roughing it" for certain.
Sounds like a great way to camp and very cool to have quilts on the bed in it... hopefully you will make a dent in your scrap pile by the time you finish!
what a great place to camp! I wish we had nice campsites here in CT--not so rural as Oregon, I imagine. When my two babies were little, we'd pack up and go camping lotsa weekends--fond memories--but, I agree a little luxury goes a long way...nice pop-upper! Julierose
