It's way beyond my quilting level, but man, how cool would it be to make a quilt with motorcycles quilted on it! What about the kind of wavy lines in the border of this quilt: http://www.themodernquiltguild.com/s...ert-stars2.png |
Bree....I already made him a quilt of a lot of his old Harley t-shirts, it's a king size with 49 shirt squares. Being that they are both in their late 50's early 60's I hope that they like both of the quilts...I don't plan on making another for him, because my 3 sisters will expect one or two also. haha

Very nice jelly roll race 2. Love the colors. Great job!

Teri-if you aren't all sandwiched and ready to quilt you could ALWAYS take some of those rows apart and re-sew them so you reds are more spaced out and to your liking... Very pretty BTW! I would cross-hatch... it is fast, looks good and easy for not so experienced quilter..... show us when it is finished....

I have done several jelly roll races and cross hatching is my choice. On the right side measure down 10 inches from top corner, on left side measure up 8 inches from bottom corner. Connect the two points with stitching and stitch next rows the desired widths. I have used 1.5' to 2' and sometimes vary them for just a bit more interest. Your quilt is great! Love the colors.

We did this at church and that is what I did too. I love jelly rolls! lo
