Hello everyone,
I want to make a quilt for my brother and I want the quilt to kind of
fit him. I am not sure of all/most quilt patterns or which one would fit
the bill.
My brother has always walked his own path, much to the disappointment
of
my parents. It has taken lots of patience and support to get him into
adulthood. We lost contact with him for a little while but now am making
up
for lost time.
The only pattern that remotely comes to mind is Drunkards Path but he
doesn't drink. And I also have a possible small to medium size novelty
print we/ motorcycles to use on it or maybe a baseball print.

Can someone give me an idea on what kind of pattern that I could use?
I
could really use all the help I can get.

Thanks everyone for your help, Jane

Call it Dutchman's Puzzle instead. It's the same block.

Or do the block folks call Snail's Trail or Monkey Wrench. It's pretty.

With the novelty prink, you can do a Stack & Whack of the motorcycles.
That may come out really cool.

Howdy!
Haven't seen you in a while, Jane; welcome back.
As for quilt patterns, I'd vote for a LogCabin.
Any combination of colors or them fabrics,
any twisting and turning for the effect you
want. The guys around here love LogCabin quilts.

No curves, either. g
Good luck!

Hullo Jane
Following on from what Sandy has said: you could do Log Cabins with
different width logs, which give the impression of curves, and then you
could design your own placement to show a meandering way.
The bike or ball fabrics could be used in the centres of the cabins?

(Hope you don't mind my tagging on Ragmop).
