Airplane Quilt for dh
 
1 Attachment(s)
This is what I made for my dh, but I see I positioned the quilt upside down when taking photos (oops). You get the idea anyway, I hope! It makes 5 completed quilts in my lifetime (and many more on my "want to do list." Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

My brother would be so envious if he saw this. It looks great.

Nice. Was your husband a paratrooper?

I love it and I'm sure your hubby will too. You did a load of fussy cutting and the pinwheels work out perfectly with the planes as they resemble propellers! Great job!

No, never a paratrooper; just an enthusiastic pilot of a 4 seater airplane. Got his license late in life, and now he's having the time of his life! (the fabric with vintage planes was just what I was able to find!)

Wow, how wonderful to find exactly the right fabric. I hope he appreciates how much work went into the fussy cutting! :-) So, after five quilts are you completely hooked?

I love your quilt! My hubby flies too and i made a raffle quilt using that same vintage airplane fabric. I made curtains for his pilot club house too. Very nice!

Very nice. It seems like whenever I unfurl a quilt to show off to someone, 9 times out of ten it's upside down!

That is super nice. So big. Love the pinwheels and four patches in it. Good job.
