    Default bike fan idea

    Ok, so I'm am into bicycling. I opened up a box for a new chain and thought. hmm. This could be an interesting quilt pattern. But not with just gray.

    Could you design a template for cutting that shape?

    ​It would make a nice FMQ background fill.

    Modify an apple core template. Sounds great.

    Quilts my Way has a pattern for a bike chain quilt that seems to be exactly what you need. It was published in a recent magazine which I have but can't
    Find right now. I will post when I can find it.
