Harley Davidson Quilt for SIL
 
4 Attachment(s)
Recently married daughter's DH is a Harley Davidson fan. He picked the fabrics for this quilt. I have color issues so was not terribly inspired by his choices, However, it is for him so his fabric choices were honored.

Turned out much better than I thought it would.

The center is a HD bandana bought from a local HD dealer. The bandana fabric is not particularly high quality, but I know will only be judged for it's beauty to a Harley Davidson lover.

The back is a black fleece with multi-colored flames on it. Looks good.

What a good job-know it will be loved !

love it. I have looked for HD fabric for years. My friends that used HD in Dubuque, Iowa told me their is no fabric out there.

I do have some from Sturges SD fabric shop that says 75th anniversary but you can't get it anymore

There is a fabric store in Sturges that sells bike fabric

Good job!!

Yes, HD fabric is difficult to find, hence the use of the bandana as the center of the quilt. SIL is a chef and likes 'hogs' so the blue fabric was his choice.

I thought it was for your sister in law (SIL) and couldn't figure out why you were talking about your DD's husband...duh son in law (SIL) lol. Good job on the quilt, he will love it.

I love seeing how creative other quilters are. Your design turned out really well. I 'm sure your SIL will LOVE it :-)

Nice work! Bet he loves it. Good idea using the headband

Great quilt, altho I personally prefer our Honda, which is not as "noise polluting" as the popular Harley! (Some have made fun of us cause they say it sounds like a "sewing machine," but I say - a sewing machine rings my chime.) You did a great job on the quilt honoring his passion - that 's the important thing.

Brilliantly done!

Pudge 12-05-2017 10:39 AM

You've done a great job and I believe he will be thrilled to receive your thoughtful gift.

Wonderful job! I'm sure he will be pleased and enjoy it for years!

I'll bet he will be very happy with this quilt. I like the motorcycle fabric and the flames.
