That looks really nice. My first attempt was a tractor lap quilt. The patten was for green but my husband had a Ford so I did it in blue for a Christmas gift for him.

That is so cute. Where did you ever get that pattern? I've never seen it.Mary

No , you don't need to take lessons, just dive in and swim around upside down.. mostly, and it just took me 9 hours to do my first block. Needless to say, paper and scraps were flying around pretty bad. But didn't get to letting ugly words come out, but got kinda close. Hope you try it...LOL

I can't remember (part timer's disease :o) ) the name of the quilter that I ordered it from. She is a popular designer and I have not been able to find my pattern since we moved. I will keep looking and post if I find it with her name.
