    Careful...you'll be getting asked to make them for everyone in the car club featuring their specific car. Be prepared with an answer (or price!).
    A high price, either they will walk away or make it worth your time...

    I bow down to your designing ability! That is going to make your dad over the moon! I really like the added detail on the tires - BF Goodrich - smokin!

    We'll we had our gift exchange early this year and it went very well. For a man who could win the lotto and not even crack a smile, he sure did seam to like the quilt. According to my mom, he talked about it a lot on their long drive home and said he is eager for spring, so he can show it off at a car show. He claims it's not fair to give it to him in winter. . . like getting a new bike for Christmas when there is 3 feet of snow outside and has to wait for months to take that first ride! I've been walking on clouds since this weekend with such joy that (1) I like the outcome of the quilt and (2) brought a smile to his face and made his day! I love giving away quilts that are appreciated!!!!!!!!

    Thanks for updating us, Angelmerritt! I'm sure no one is surprised he loves it so much.

    What an awesome gift! My DH has a 1979 Olds Culass that is his passion, too. I may borrow your ides for next year for Christmas. Thanks for sharing!
