Seed Quilt is a personal seed bank, which can be passed along as an heirloom, a literal security blanket, a portable seed bank. Should the need arise it could be planted on the ground and grow a garden, with the seeds germinating in the cotton wool quilt batting.

Like seed preservation, the craft of quilting has evolved as a tradition in many diverse cultures around the world. The quilt is a symbol of self-sufficiency, of security, comfort, and warmth.  This quilt contains within it a story of salvation in a bleak future.
