Fast Dreams - Race Cars Quilt

Fast Dreams - Race Cars Quilt

This is another quilt that I made to donate at the office.  I came up with the pattern off the top of my head after finding the race car fabric and the black and white checker fabric.  I cut the race care fabric into columns then made blocks.  I cut small flags from the checkered fabric then proceeded to try various layouts until I cam up with a pattern that looked good.

This is the race car fabric I started with.

After cutting the race car fabric into blocks and cutting the flags I tried various configurations.

 

 As you can imagine some would have been difficult to do!

 

Some where too busy!

 

This is the layout I chose.

 It took a lot of work and care to line up everything!

I chose to go with a plain black border.

I added 16 sets of embroidered crossed racing flags on the border.

 It added a nice touch to the border!

 Here is the finished quilt.  It is single bed sized.  The top quilting is just straight line.

 

The backing and my signature block.
