Mad about plaid

Ditto! By the way, a wonderful job on a beautiful quilt. Some little boy (and his parents) will love it. Be sure to post pictures when it's done.

I like the plaid. But then I (because I like the look) would do corner stones in blue, red, green, and yellow. But I know whatever you do will look great. Have fun because it looks like a fun quilt. :D

The other prints would make a great backing, binding, and matching pillow cases.

Plaid is my vote.

The plaid. Cute quilt!

:thumbup:

Super blocks & they all have black (tires,etc). I'd have to go with the black and white or yellow dashes down the center. This will add visual interest, & later, as he is older, reality-check & attention to detail to notice road "signs". Language is not just "alphabetic" reading, but other indicators of information(paw prints when hunting,street signs, map designations, etc.) This teaches him to observe his environment, and interpret possible information in short-hand form. This takes the quilt from cute to a learning tool. IMHO.

The plaid!! I've never cut sashing on the bias, but some here say you can with starching and careful handling. Go for it. The plaid adds more interest to the squares, not that it's needed. The squares themselves are so much fun, and the plaid on bias will add to the fun of your masterpiece.
I don't know a thing about applique and the color of thread to use. I have to learn about that. Maybe a soft blue gray??????

Plaid! or maybe dark solid blue for sashing and plaid for border.

I vote for the plaid!
