Exactly this!

Wonder if he has relatives as sweet as him anywhere near me--sure would be heartwarming to think so.

Great looking quilt. Yep you both won. Now my question is where did you get the fabric. My DH is my mechanic and have been wanting to do something xtra special for him for Christmas. I will stop all other projects to get this finished by Christmas. Am thinking of using his favorite jeans he doesn't/can't wear anymore for the backing.

[QUOTE=Prissnboot;6915624]I made my mechanic mike a quilt as a secial thank you for all the help he has given me over the years. It's not fancy or complicated in design but it just had his name all over it. A pic is attached

By chance is this "Mike" from Quality?
