I want to do a quilt for my brother. He loves VW's and I finally found some fabric (very little so it will have to be used as a focus fabric.) I am looking for a simple pattern that will highlight the VW fabric. I also have lots of 60's style fabrics to use along with the VW. Any ideas anyone? Thanks.

warm wishes has a large block that could be a focus.

Thanks Quiltmouse, that's a good idea.
|
Take a look at all the fabric..get graph paper and design one..he'll love it!!
|
I'd love to be able to do that but my talent is in the sewing end not the designing side. I would love to be more creative but at least I can sew and I am thankful for that. That's why I love this board of creative people!

Would you consider the Dewey block? Here's the link to the (free!!) pattern from quilterscache.com: http://www.quilterscache.com/D/DeweyBlockBlock.html
Looks like a great way to showcase the special VW fabric. And, throw in some of the "groovy" others. |
Wow, that's a great pattern! Thanks for sharing it. I don't think I've seen it before.
|
turning 20 is great too.
|
Thanks Julie. I have done that one for another brother and I am trying to do something different for each one (I have 5). Good idea though.
|
I especially like the fact that it looks more difficult than it actually is, and people will think you've fussed (but only you will know any different!! :thumbup: )
