Ditto! By the way, a wonderful job on a beautiful quilt. Some little boy (and his parents) will love it. Be sure to post pictures when it's done.
I like the plaid but how about on the bias. I have done this before and it looks real cool. Just starch it alot and handle it gently when sewing. Do the binding the same way!
Cute!
peace

Cute!

I like the plaid. But then I (because I like the look) would do corner stones in blue, red, green, and yellow. But I know whatever you do will look great. Have fun because it looks like a fun quilt. :D
The other prints would make a great backing, binding, and matching pillow cases.

Super blocks & they all have black (tires,etc). I'd have to go with the black and white or yellow dashes down the center. This will add visual interest, & later, as he is older, reality-check & attention to detail to notice road "signs". Language is not just "alphabetic" reading, but other indicators of information(paw prints when hunting,street signs, map designations, etc.) This teaches him to observe his environment, and interpret possible information in short-hand form. This takes the quilt from cute to a learning tool. IMHO.

I don't know a thing about applique and the color of thread to use. I have to learn about that. Maybe a soft blue gray??????
