The quilt is a navy blue, lighter blue, and white Carpenter's Wheel quilt.
It is still a work in progress, but as I am working on it I got to thinking
about the name I would give to it and the name just isn't coming to me.
It is for my Father in Law who has been in the hospital recently. This
is the first quilt that I have struggled to name. I asked my husband for
help and he told me that I am on my own with this one because he is
also stumped. Sigh....Maybe you guys could help give me a bit of
inspiration? He is an auto mechanic by trade. He loves cars and horses,
but none of the fabric on this quilt has any mention of those two things.
It is blue because he likes the color blue. I have never spent a lot of
time with him unless it was auto related, so this one is tough. I can
post a picture of my work in progress if that might help get some
of your creative ideas to flowing....thanks in advance.

A picture would definitely help.

Oceans of blue. Blue tools. Not being able to see a picture limits my imagination.

Well its a star...he's a mechanic....how about a reference to a star screwdriver which is called a bit driver."Bit Driver Blue"

approaching this from the mechanics side and all I've come up with so far is a star wrench--------the blue is sort of a metal color if you stretch your imagination. I might do "Daddy's star wrench!" I may be back with another idea.

And I went with hex head wrenchs-----------star wrenchs

I'm going to pretend I don't know the quilt has 8 points instead of 6

How about "Wheelie (pun on really) Not Blue" .
I will have to continue to think on it. Good luck.

When I think of blue I think of steel. When I see the carpenters wheel I think of a cogged gear which can play nicely with his profession.

How about
"Get it in Gear"
"Getting Back in Gear"

My first thought was to look up mechanic language to see if something came up

Something might pop out at you...like All wheel drive, 4WD..
Good luck
