Is Anyone Making the Hobo Quilt

I live in a town that has about 100 trains a day go through. I also worked for many years at the police department and we had "train bums" come to the police department on a regular basis both for good and bad reasons. I wish I had known about these signs at the time so I could have asked them.
I figure it will take me a while to finish as I only work on it occasionally.
Good luck to everyone.

This is really a great ideal, may have to use it??

I'm only working on mine every once in a while, so it might be a while before I have any pictures. I'd work on it more, but I'm like a busy airport and seem to have several projects stacked up in front of the hobo quilt.
