I made this family quilt for a gentleman whose intention was to use it on this beautiful guest bed, and more importantly, to have it passed down through his family. I included fabrics that showed his many interests. Images of cats, chickens, fawns, and the many frogs that roam his country property. He enjoyed a trip to Hawaii, so I found pineapples and flowers. He loves cars, especially Corvettes. On eBay I found a Corvette fabric by Alexander Henry from the 1990s.  It was used as part of the backing, so that when the top of the quilt is turned down the Corvettes are right side up, facing you. 
I included a diary that I wrote in as I made the quilt, recording the work, and both the joys and frustrations, of the project, as well as the times. I suggested that future owners add to the book.
