That's the name of my latest quilt for my guitarist nephew. The prints are guitars and musical notes. He's a bit funky and likes things a bit non-traditional, so I tried to give it a modern look. I made this a sturdy quilt with 3/8 seams so that he can drag it to festivals and concerts....but I seriously doubt that he will. He takes care of his things.

Wow! Love the colors.

Thanks everyone! I wanted it bright and the red with the black really makes it pop...that and the turquoise strip. I tried lots of things but the red was the best choice...there was a purple that I liked too, but it made it look to feminine.

I picked up the guitar fabric at the Paducah Quilt Show over a couple of seasons, but if you google guitar print fabric, you'll find it and much more. I had to have a little more of the musical notes and found it easily. I also have fabric for another music themed quilt for my hubby. Here's his fabric. This is going to be a smaller 'sofa quilt' and I have a silk batting for it. I've never used silk so am curious to see how it quilts up.
