This quilt block shows a motorcycle made out of fabric. The chassis and motor are made out of a gray highly textured fabric and is accented with a light gray stitching indicating the engine and the tail pipe, as well as the handle bars. The wheels are a black circle of fabric, but mostly covered with the gray fabric indicating the spokes with the same stitching. The chrome is a dark red fabric with dark grey stitching, and on the main body behind the handlebars is an orange splotch of fabric in the shame o a flame. The seat is the same black fabric as the wheels, with black stitching.

Today I continue my quest in creating and posting one block a day of the fabulous That Town And Country Quilt by the lovely Susan-Claire Mayfield. This is day two hundred and thirty-eight of that project.

Vrrroooom!

Here is Cathy’s motorcycle. She really loves to ride. She and her husband take long rides all over.

She is a good friend and moved out of state. As soon as I saw this motorcycle, I thought of her. I have ridden on the back of a few motorcycles for short outings. I found it fun and thrilling.

Also a little scary.

I could never drive a motorcycle. I can’t even control a bicycle! I would certainly be a danger to myself and others.

So, I envy Cathy and her wild spirit in riding that big bike.

You go, girl!
