Truckers quilt
My new son-in-law is a trucker. His new truck is red and black. He has requested a quilt made with these colors for his truck (I can use 1 other color, and I'm thinking gray). Any ideas? I've thought carpenter star or hunter's star. I want something that goes together fairly quickly. TIA

You might want to avoid using white. Red, light gray, and black would look great together. Maybe you could get a paint chip of the color red of his truck.
When DH was on the road, he would sometimes just flop down on the bunk without undressing to catch a short nap now and then.

Would this do? I don't know if there is a pattern for this quilt. I saw something similar somewhere on the internet, probably Pinterest and designed it in EQ7. It is a 9 inch finished, 9 patch block. All the blocks in this quilt are exactly the same block, just turned different ways. The quilt as shown here is 72 x 72 without any borders. Because it is a 9 patch, it could easily be upsized to a 12 inch block. The last quilt is 6 x 8 blocks and with binding should finish about 54 x 72.

Oh wow, Barb, that is a very eye catching design. My husband drives a truck also. And just made his last payment in February. (Yippee, we now own the money pit. A little back story: It got hit by lightning last year. And, it's just not been the same.) I think this design would look awesome on a bed in a truck. I love seeing the chosen colors in the design you made.
stitchnluvr, I wish your new son-in-law all the best.
