My first quilt
 
4 Attachment(s)
This is my first quilt....all work was done by me except the quilting....which was done by a local longarm quilter...Tranquility Creations.

My DH and I own an automotive repair and towing shop, so we travel to different tow truck conventions.
The quilt was made as a thank you gift for a member of a towing organization in Ohio. When I presented it to her I let her know that it was a gift for her, but if she wanted to put it the silent auction (to raise money for the organization) I understood. She loved the quilt so much she said there was no way she was giving it up.

The back view shows a close up of the quilting...it's a tow truck hauling a car. The quilt top has material with a tow truck on one and another with cars.

Hope you enjoy and thank you for viewing.

You did an exceptional job on that beautiful quilt! Can you share with us the name of the pattern?

StrayCat 10-05-2012 03:22 PM

I loved your "find the tow truck and car" game! It took me a minute, but I found them <pats self on back>. That's a great piecing design, and I'm now puzzling over how to make those rows. Give me a hint, like maybe a pattern...LOL.

lov2quilt611 10-05-2012 03:45 PM

Thank you all for the nice comments on my quilt....:) I can't wait to start my next one....hopefully this weekend...
