Tracey Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 It won't talk. I have GMC in 6 of the 20 squares. They are 12". I can't think of a dang thing to do here!! I am soooo frustrated. Can anyone come up with something?? This sucker is polar fleece front and back and an old quilt for batting. It weighs a ton. ugh.... I have it all stitched in the ditch. (that was a nightmare) Help me out if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltmonkey Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Tracy how about a block motif repeated in each square? You can use a stencil and whilte pounce chalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Is there something in some of those squares?? And...is that log cabin the border?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 How about some cars or trucks or other vehicle-ey designs to go with the GMC logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I was think trucks like Kristina. Get a coloring book and you'll find loads of designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfly Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Yikes. I feel your pain. How about choosing five or six different background fills and fill up the blocks with those. I'm afraid thats the only idea I have. Sorry. Jessica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Originally posted by Mary Beth Is there something in some of those squares?? And...is that log cabin the border?? The squares (only 6) have GMC in them. The log cabin you see is an old quilt from when the customer's son was little. That is the batting between the 2 layers of polar fleece!!!!!! No way anyone would be cold with this puppy around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Use a yellow-to-red variegated thread to stitch flames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathleen Kearney Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I really like the yellow-to-red variegated to stitch flames that sounds good to me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey Posted February 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Hey Linda, I had thought of flames. I'd have to use black though. The customer doesn't want anything interfering with the 'woven look of the sashings'. Instead of letting this give me yet another day of stress, I made a bag. A very cool bag. At least the day wasn't lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 Are you going to share the very cool bag with us? You can post a picture of it...we would probably all love to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anniemueller Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 I still think concentric circles like a tire or a steering wheel would work. You want a big design since it is so heavy and there is lots of free space in the GMC blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kueser Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 How about a "hub cap" design???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francine Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 MAYBE ALTERNATE GMC TRUCKS, GTO'S AND GMC HUBCAPS AND SOME FILL BEHIND? MY NECK HURTS LOOKING AT THIS:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
