I think i would feel the same way as you do, Lettie. Big changes -- no matter your age! Good luck in finding a new group of quilting buddies. We quilters seem to live in every part of the country. In the meantime, you might consider an applique block as the center of you quilt. You could applique a simple rendition of the car. Another idea would be to have a photo of your husband and his car transferred to fabric of a center block. Either center could be surrounded by your log cabin blocks! My husband would love an Austin Healy Sprite, same vintage!
