Rainbow Bugs

Given the title of this post, one might asssume I've been under the influence of psychadelic mind altering substance.  Alas, that is not the case.  A few years ago I was given a ton of fabric, some scraps and some yardage.  Included in that ton was 5 yds of rainbow Volkswagen bugs on black background fabric.  I have kept it thinking sooner or later the right project would come along.  The right project came along in the form of a picnic quilt for my niece who celebrates a birthday this month
It is serendipty as she is bright and colorful just like the fabric, she just recently recieved her drivers license and also.... She drives a Volkswagen Beetle.  Here are some pictures.  They are low quality as they were taken with my phone but you get the gist. ☺

I made and atttached the tie to the back so she could easliy keep it in her car.  I hope she likes it.  Happy Birthday sweet niece of mine..
