My Dresden Bicycle
 

A couple of weeks ago there was a thread about the dresden bike quilt on Pinterest. I had been looking at it for a while, but had no idea where I could hang it in my house. One of the guys in my spinning class recently passed away. He was constantly volunteering his time etc at the YMCA. He was so friendly and the nicest man ever. They have renamed the cycling studio after him. I donated this to the YMCA in memory of him to hang in the cycling studio.

I love your bike quilt! And what a good idea to donate it in your friend's memory.

Real nice and very nice of you to donate it.

Lovely bike, and a great and fitting tribute!

how nice of you to donate in his memory. Is the background a convergence? Nice job.

A really fine tribute!

very nicely done

Love it. It is so bright and cheery.

Super. I am sure that your friend would have appreciated your quilt. BrendaK

What a nice thing to do. Very cute quilt.

Love your quilt and really love your reason for making it. So sorry for your loss and the YMCA's loss. Sometimes I just don't understand why some really good people leave us prematurely. They are people who do so much good that we need them to stick around longer.

Yes the background is a convergence. I actually had it in my stash. I had made it a couple of years ago to use for the background of something else. The colors just didn't do what I had wanted them to do. I remade it. I knew I would find a good use for this one. I love how it came out. He will be sorely missed.

very cute!!!

Special bike for a special person.

I just love that Bicycle, very beautiful :)

You did a beautiful job in creating this special quilt. What a lovely memory of someone that they will be remembered for his kindness.

That is so cute and I love the story about donating it. Good Job!!!

Super fun piece...what a nice memory wall hanging for someone who obviously made an impact on the members at the Y.

What wonderful quilting and generosity on your part...
Love the Name on the bike.
Thanks for being so thoughtful.

Beautiful ... a great way to remember him.

Very cute. Love the basket of flowers and how bright the Dresden wheels are. Love the background. Lovely tribute!

MeanMom, I love your quilt and your story is touching. What a kind and thoughtful gesture. Wish the world was filled withe more people like you.

a lovely tribute...

A really cute quilt for a really nice tribute. The background is just perfect for the bike and must have been waiting for just such a chance to shine.

What a cute idea! Good job.

Lovely tribute to your friend.

The act of thoughtfulness is duly noted. I also have been eyeing that particular pattern. I quilt entirely for a childrens charity. AZBlankets4Kids. I would like to make that quilt for a child. Would you share with me the size of your individual dresdens. I can figure out the rest. Thanks.

Beautiful quilt and very thoughtful of you! Perfect donation in his memory!

I like your quilt and your giving it in memory or a friend. It will be seen and admired by many for sure. I really like the contemporary background.

Awesome tribute. Love that his name is on the bike.

How sweet! I am sure the quilt will become well loved in it's new home. I just love it.

So awesome of you to do that.

Good job. I know the cycling studio is happy to have it and remember Lou in a very lovely way.

Super cute!

What a wonderful thing to do in your friend's memory. It's beautiful.

Love your quilt. I have a niece who owns a bike shop and would love to make this for her. I went on Pintrest but couldn't find a place to order the pattern. Can you help me? thanks.

Win, win. That is a great quilted tribute! Whoever came up with the idea of a dresden bike was very whimsically clever. I'd like to be known as someone like that!!

Cute bicycle quilt.

Great idea to donate in his memory. Cute use of Dresden plates.
