Hi, My grown son is a VW Van restorer & loves them. He's won awards & loves all sizes from his actual 1967 to tiny 1" scale models. I want to make a VW quilt for him and I'm looking for ideas. Any ideas, suggestions or words of wisdom are all welcome. I've been quilting about 2 yrs.

My friend made this quilt (she's got a VW Bug).

You could alter it to be a VW Van front image, or profile, using great fabrics:

Did you see the new van? Very cool.

You could do it via any method you're comfortable with - hand applique, machine applique, fusible (probably the easiest). And it's definitely within your skill set.

I think it would be fabulous.

Hi! Looks like you found an answer to your question. Welcome from Ohio!

welcome!

Hello and welcome from West Virginia. If your son has pics of different VW's, maybe you could make a memory quilt using the pics printed on fabric sheets.

Thanks everyone! Great info & pictures & ideas about the VW quilt & some new web sites to follow!

I'll get out the old pictures...great idea, thanks.
