There…. I came up with a name for this quilt. Even though these trucks are filled with
flowers the recipient will be a little boy and I didn’t want to quilt flowers
all over and noticed the saying on one of these blocks. It says “Live simply” and I opted to keep the
quilting simple too. Less can be so much
more.
I then just repeated the motif used in the borders and
sashing for the small print blocks and simply outlining the words and trucks on
the other blocks.
At one stage I thought of pebbling around the trucks in the empty space but with this cream background and a grey backing, I didn’t want to mix the thread colours as thread poking would definitely appear on either side. This is the reason I prefer a printed backing, it allows me to chop and change thread colours to get the perfect match for the top.
