Help me name a quilt?
The quilt is a navy blue, lighter blue, and white Carpenter's Wheel quilt.
It is still a work in progress, but as I am working on it I got to thinking about the name I would give to it and the name just isn't coming to me. It is for my Father in Law who has been in the hospital recently. This is the first quilt that I have struggled to name. I asked my husband for help and he told me that I am on my own with this one because he is also stumped. Sigh....Maybe you guys could help give me a bit of inspiration? He is an auto mechanic by trade. He loves cars and horses, but none of the fabric on this quilt has any mention of those two things. It is blue because he likes the color blue. I have never spent a lot of time with him unless it was auto related, so this one is tough. I can post a picture of my work in progress if that might help get some of your creative ideas to flowing....thanks in advance. |
A picture would definitely help. :)

Oceans of blue. Blue tools. Not being able to see a picture limits my imagination.

How about "Wheelie (pun on really) Not Blue" .
I will have to continue to think on it. Good luck. Vonda |
When I think of blue I think of steel. When I see the carpenters wheel I think of a cogged gear which can play nicely with his profession.
How about "Get it in Gear" "Getting Back in Gear" |
My first thought was to look up mechanic language to see if something came up
