I've been working on my husband a Harley Davidson/motorcyle quilt that I designed myself. I've changed it several times, LOL, as I've worked and now he wants it bigger!
It was supposed to be "throw" sized and he was ok with that until he actually seen how small it was turning out. Now he wants it bigger. I hadn't sewn the borders on yet, so thats a plus.
I can't post pics right now, it would really help if I could, but I can't.
In the center it has a 24 inch block with the Harley Davidson symbol appliqued on it and a one inch border around that. Next is a row of 8 inch four patch blocks all the way around the center square, then a 2 inch border around that.
Now, that's where I'm at. I had planned to next add an 8 inch border with fussy cut motorcyle blocks set on point the center of each and in the corners.
So, here's what I'm thinking. Add another row of blocks all the way around and THEN the original border with the fussy cut blocks. Problem is, I don't have anymore of the material used in the four patch blocks. You actually can't get Harley Davidson material, I bought that off ebay, and its a sheet cut up(which I really don't want to do again, but that's another story!). I used that, a white, and an orange in the 4 patch blocks. I do have the white and orange left.
I'm thinking of doing these type blocks:

in black and white. Or should I just do another wide border-type strips?
I'm thinking the blocks would be better because that way I'd have the center block, then row of pieced blocks, a border, row of pieced blocks, etc.
