This month's challenge was to make a project that shows travel vehicles of any kind.
Planes, trains, automobiles, bikes, trucks, tractors, or whatever gets us
from one place to another. Use your creative imagination to show us ways to travel.
Or, make a project showing a place to travel to.
The options on this challenge are pretty open...you can do it!
Here are the one's posting today -
For my quilt, I started with a pieced panel that I had found in a barrel of scraps back at a local quilt store that was close to where I lived for a while. This panel had two appliqued trucks on it. The panel was cute, but I then struggled to figure out what to do with it.
Several years ago and in a different state and many quilt stores later, I found a couple of cute fabrics with all sorts of traffic signs in a could of colorways. I inserted the panel into the one yard piece of the yellow background.

Final top was pieced in a 3" cross-hatch pattern. This is the first time I've almost done a whole cloth quilt. Not something I would normally do, but for this project seemed to be what was called for.
The grey background print, I used for the main backing fabric and used a solid grey to piece it out to the right size.
