That is when an idea came to mind - I could put pics of his favorite cars on fabric and make them into a quilt. Turned out the idea was the easy part. Everything after that took a lot of time... including what fabrics to choose and what to design.
But I did it and he loved it! Here is the finished quilt... made with love, by Aunt Patty.
Here is the front of the quilt (the black binding did not show up well due to my lack of photography skills).
And this is a close up of the quote I embroidered on the back.
After this project, I was so tired of sewing for hours on end that I have not been back to sewing/embroidery since! Hopefully, I will get rejuvenated soon, as there are many projects yet to complete.
