If i made a 3D bowtie quilt in Chevy red(orange) and black... would that work as well as a big chevy bowtie emblem appliqued on the black? Or does it really oughta have the true logo....
Dont' really want to do more applique right now. i'm getting enough with my lovely dragonflies and i'm not good at machine applique.

Try drawing and coloring the bow tie quilt and the logo quilt to see which one you like the best. Debra in VA See my quilts at
It is, but they call it a bow tie, so i didnt' know if i could use a bowtie or not. thinkin i will jsut have to do the applique.... sigh
I dunno.
What if you draw up an uneven nine patch block (slanted at the same angle as the Chevy bow tie)? Seems to me you could end up with the center row being the Chevy bow tie and the top and bottom rows being the "framing"..... Of course, how that works on the edges might get sort of interesting.
Alternating blocks in red and black, so that the colors alternate: black background, red bow tie alternating with red background, black bow tie.....
Although it does sound rather like by the time you do *that*, a Dale Earnhardt "3" is going to be called for *somewhere* in the quilt, probably as applique......maybe just one random block...... :)
