What was your inspiration?
This one is for my nephew who just turned 4. He has a car bed and loves everything with motors - as soon as I saw this fabric, I just knew it was the basis of Will's quilt.
What are you most proud of?
I really love the colour combination and that this is a multi-functional quilt - can keep you warm and be used to drive your matchbox cars around on!
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
