Last year my best friend went to New York City with her sister. She was telling me how amazed she was by all the taxi cabs on the streets. When I spotted this taxi cab fabric at a quilt show earlier this year I knew I HAD to make her a quilt. I even found stop light buttons to put in the "intersection".

too cute!

How clever! How big is it?

Cute.

I had the same impression. I really like the fabric and your quilt. Bet it will bring back fond memories for her.

Thanks Ducky. The quilt is 36" x 36".

That is so cute, and creative!!!! Wonderful idea for your friend, she's going to love it!! :D

Nice job. That one will certainly bring back memories. :D

Awesome. She will love it. The buttons in the center are a great idea. Looks like a traffic light.

AWESOME!! 8) 8) 8) What a great idea!!!
The buttons are a perfect accent :D :D :D

I like your quilt. It's thoughtful of you to do that for your friend.


I like your avatar too...looks complex. Was it difficult?

PS: This is my 3000th post!! :D

That is just adorable!

That's soooo sooooo cute! She will love it. It'll bring fond memories. It is definitely a site to behold, especially Times Square. It's especially nice flying in and out of NYC at night and seeing all the lights!!! 8) 8) 8)

Congratulations, SulaBug on your 3000th post!!! :wink: :wink:

SulaBug, I'm honored that I received your 3000th post! Congratulations! :) :)

Thank you Ranger and everyone for your kind words.

The block in my avatar wasn't difficult at all. It was paper pieced which I'm learning is lots of fun and an easy way to make sharp, crisp points. This was the center block from a table runner pattern bought at a LQS.

That is wonderful. And what a lot of thought you put into that quilt. Great job.

Great quilt. the traffic light buttons is a perfect addition. Bet you won't have to explain that to your friend.

Very creative! Love the traffic signal.

That is fantastic!!! So very cute and the buttons are just perfect!

Cheers for your creativity! She will think of you and her wonderful trip every time she looks at it.

oh my gosh, what a neat quilt. she's gonna love it for sure

What a wonderful gift for your friend. You did a great job.

How clever! The stoplight the crowning touch!

That is one cute quilt! Lucky friend!

Love that fabric. I bought it at The City Quilter in New York when I was taking a class there and have used it twice so far but never thought of making it "the quilt". Yours is wonderful. Their newest NY fabric is a subway map, colorful and fun. Anyone visiting the city should check it out. An excellent shop where you can find some great souveneirs (if you like fabric LOL)!

Great idea - wonderful fabric, perfect name for the quilt!

That's a beauty! Good for you!

The fabric is way too cute. The taxis, and the check! Great quilt!
