Forget the quilt I want the car. First car I ever drove by myself was a bug. I love them and this one is blue, one of my fav colors andd the white interior is cool.

Ok, now back to your project. Girl, you have been driving with the top down too much.
Eeegads, that is awesome. It will be beautiful when completed.

OMG! Please keep posting your progress. This is way cool!

Thanks for your compliments.

no, there is unfortunately no program which generates the pattern automatically ;)
i took a class with Chyntia England. I learned the basics there, with paper, pencil and ruler...and lot of patience.

Back at home i wish to do something bigger, and also unfortunately i had not enough paper and no ruler long enough, so I started thinking. I´m a technical draftsman and tryed to made the line with some CAD Programms... without good results. By an accident I found out that Microsoft Excel is a good way to create the lines and print out at the end in any size you prefer and suitable.
