So the quilt will now get black (on the right) in between each block and then a simple border to make it longer for his legs. :0)
He was weepy when I showed this to him and he said, "this is going to be a beautiful quilt....and it is.
Thank you to those of you who sent blocks. Aren't they fun???
Hopefully we will have this done by the weekend and I can have it quilted and he can use it. Fun.
Thank you for commenting.
I think the red around each block is quite wonderful! And happy and he needs happy right now.
NOTE- some of you asked about how they did some of the corvette's. One person painted it, one person did all thread stitching , one person paper pieced it, several people appliqued by hand and the rest appliqued by machine. It is a quilt of many approaches and it means so much to Mark and Me too. Friends that are quilters truley show compassion in a wonderful way.
Thank you! I think the red looks so cool around each block.
I love how it is coming together, Mark is such a lovely man who is so deserving of this gift.
ReplyDeleteThe red looks great and it makes it a happy quilt too. I notice the two vettes that look realistic, are those applique or printed? That was the design I was trying to applique and it just wasn't working for me, but my brain seems to be on hold these days;)

I tried to leave a comment yesterday, but was unsuccessful . Hope this works today. I'm so glad to see how the quilt is progressing. I sew enjoyed making the block with the Nebraska sun shining on the 'MARK II' cinvertible. I hope it brings a little Mid-Western sunshine and happiness to you and Mark. Mark's quilt is a winner for sure. Have you thought about chenille for the backing, it is so soft and warm.
