Monday, October 3, 2022 — One down and one to go. Here’s the quilt I’ve made for my DIL, Laura.
She’s now a fan of Route 66, like her FIL and me. When our eldest asked me for a quilt for Laura, he suggested Route 66 as a theme. I didn’t have any Route 66 fabric so went online to see what I could find. The first thing to come up was this panel and I was sold on it. It brings back memories of the Route 66 souvenir shop we frequent whenever we visit Williams, AZ. It looks like a 50s malt shop inside, and its the only place I have found Route 66 pocket t-shirts, which Robert prefers.
I have the other quilt ready for hand stitching of the binding. When I get it finished, I’ll take a photo and post it here.
Be safe, do take care of yourself and remember to tell those you love that you love them.
That’s so generous of you to make these quilts for anyone who asks.

Thanks for the photo. That is a most unusual fabric panel. You were fortunate to find it!

Panels make up quicker than pieced tops, though I prefer putting pieces of fabric together to create a unique quilt. I have only used a ‘kit’ a couple of times in my life, preferring to select my own fabrics/pattern. Thanks!
