A quilted banner or flag with a Mardi Gras theme---nice fabric available last few years. Masks are a great theme. Also have the participants buy or make masks...You can usually go to a party store and buy some inexpensive ones (then glue on cotton fabric that looks as if it's quilted. Add a few feathers and beads. Another idea would be to have a "quilt queen" on your golf cart--all decked out in a long silky dress, a fabulous mask and crown and a cape fashioned from a quilt, Have a great tikme!
. Mardi Gras parades are lots of fun.

Your quilt group sounds like a hoot! I wish I could play with you!
I love the suggestion of quilted parasols. That would be fast and easy to do. I'd bet you could basically make a smallish Christmas tree skirt pattern out of Mardi Gras fabrics and put it on your umbrella. Maybe some ties to hold it on.

The mug rugs, little finger or small pin cushions, fabric necklaces would be great for throwing to the crowd. Everyone in the group could make just a few of these. You could also have someone pin fabric all over their clothing & be a walking fabric stash or runaway fabric. Sounds like it is a fun occasion.
