So, I promised Doug I would make him his very own quilt, theme being route 66, cars and motorcycles. I have it to the point where it's pinned together, and I have been trying to figure out how I'm going to quilt it the way I want. I want a wandering road all over it, with in between the road quilted motor cycles and maybe cars. I created an easy image of a motor cycle that will work, and a car should be simple too. The problem is, I need to draw the road and most of the fabric is dark and my pencil is not leaving a very good line for me to see. He wanted it to be reversible, and I actually got him to go shopping for fabrics with me. Quilt store employees gave him a lot of ribbing.
Doug tended to pick out fabrics that were very dark, so I had to add in some brite ones as well, as you can see, and Napoleon approved.
Nice Quilt. Use a Crayola Washable Marker (Test first for washing outness)to draw your road. See if you can make your pictures "clickable" to link to your webshots so they can be seen bigger.
