I don't know how to post pictures or I'd show you one that I just made - really quick and easy, but oh so cute. I took a yard and a half of chevron fabric, made a sandwich with batting and coordinating fabric for the backing, typed the person's name into my computer in a bold script font and then enlarged it to about 250 times the original size and printed it out. I traced it in reverse in a coordinating color onto fabric, and appliqued it onto the chevron fabric. Then I quilted it right down the middle of each white chevron stripe, made bias binding out of remaining chevron fabric and bound it. The whole process took me just 2 days, and most of that was hand stitching the binding. I used bright red and white chevron, did the name in turquoise and white small dot fabric, and used a bright white, red, turquoise, pink and green print for the back. It is just absolutely adorable.
