jeepers

i made this kaleidoscope quilt for Earth Science ...... he used to drive a (blue) jeep, his favorite color used to be orange (i'm not sure, but i think that now it might be blue), and (i think) he likes to fish...

...the tire tread border is pieced (i dunno how many strips it took - i lost track after fifty) ...... he sold tires (and wheels and batteries and windshield wipers and a whole bunch of other car stuff) to put himself through college ...

there are free-motion tire-trackish lines quilted all over it ... the backing is jeep (green) flannel ... and it is named the beep beep

edit - that is NOT the tip of MY toe...
