Hi everyone. I'm new here and thought I'd start off posting pictures of the quilt I'm working on. It's my first one and it's going to be my husbands Christmas present.
The colors are mostly green because that is his favorite color, and the theme is motorcycles because he's got one and loves to ride. There's no real pattern to it. It is all hand sewn because I don't have a machine. Let me know what you think, and if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them. Remember, this is just what I have done so far... mostly it's a lot of unfinished pieces.
This is the piece I just finished today. It's supposed to be the open road heading through some fields towards the mountains:

This is the center (and largest) block for the quilt:

This is one of the unfinished motorcycle pieces. I cut out some of the motorcycles from the leftover center block fabric and used heat'n'bond to bond them to the fabric. I still have to finish the border:

I'm also making a piece with an old fashioned gas pump (the kind you have to crank).
