I recently split a Jeep fat quarter bundle from several years back into two color ways. Two weeks ago I shared my first Jeep quilt in the pink and green color way, link here. Today I have my second Jeep quilt to share, in the blue and grey color way!!!
Quilt Info:
Pattern: Koby from GE Designs
Size: 59" x 80"
Batting: Quilters Dream 100% Cotton Deluxe
Thread: Glide--Marlin
Pantograph: It's a Jeep Thing ⤵️ from Three Sisters Fabric
His and hers Jeep quilts!!! ⤴️⤵️
We took both quilts out on Monday for a little back road adventure and photo shoot. ⤵️ This spot was part of the backwaters of the Minnesota River near the old Harkin General Store, west of New Ulm, Minnesota.
Linda asked me in my first Jeep blog if I am into Jeep ducking--absolutely! Fellow Jeepers give or leave a duck on the Jeep doorknob or runner of another Jeep, just to put a smile on the other Jeepers face! This movement was started in 2020 as a way to uplift, encourage and bond with other Jeepers. I have received 6 so far, on my dashboard ⤴️ and I have a bag of them that I give out, when out and about!🐤
Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy
Love seeing both of your quilts with your Jeep in a beautiful setting.
ReplyDeleteHey Nancy, your blue Jeep quilt is a win for me. I'm always attracted to the Koby pattern design AND monochromatic color quilts. and so I ask myself WHY have I only made 1 Koby quilt ???
ReplyDeleteHis and Hers Jeep quilts - how fun! Love the blues and the backing looks great with blues. Your quilting is beautiful. I know next to nothing about Jeeps and we saw a duck on one the other day and wondered about it.
ReplyDeleteI love both quilts, The backing on the blue / gray one is perfect! And the quilting motif is so much fun.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is a beauty, Nancy! I love the cool blues and grays together. And fun to see both quilts with your Jeep, and its flock of ducks, too!
ReplyDeleteI never thought about splitting up that quarter bundles into two different color ways! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI really like the blue quilt! How fun to photograph them on Jeep too! Those quilts would be great ones to make for donations as they look great and look easy and quick to make too, which is a wining combination. Thanks for sharing these. Daryl~ patchouli.moon.studio at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteFun to see both quilts together and in 'the wild'! :)
ReplyDeleteLove these quilts--they really capture the spirit of driving a Jeep. How fun that you have a tradition of sharing your love by leaving little ducks! Must be so fun to come back to your car and find a little duck there. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

Oh those beautiful blues. The jeep fabrics are so stinking cute and love your backing. Woo Hoo for the jeep quilts!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely second version, although I think I am partial to the pink. I realized this is very similar to the pattern I just did. I love all the fabrics and the fun photo shoot is just perfect. I remember riding in your jeep!
ReplyDeleteHow cool to have jeep quilts especially for your jeep! And I love the duck story! I had not heard of this before...so wonderful to uplift each other! And it is such a simple thing to do, too! :)
ReplyDeleteThis selection from the fat Q bundle is lovely, too. The blues and greys look great in the quilt.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the info on the symbols in the quilting.
And I had a smile on my face when I read about the ducks. That does sound like fun!
Love that - His and Hers Jeep Quilts!!! and the ducking - so fun!!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great quilt! Love the fabrics, pattern, and that's a great pantograph to bring it all together. Fun flannel for the back too! Thanks for sharing on TGIFF!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, pretty new version of the Jeep quilt! It's funny that you each have your own now ;)) Fun fabrics too, and of course this duck story is fabulous! Is there a particular reason why it's a duck?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this beautiful new quilt and the fun story ;)
Those are awesome quilts and that new backing is just perfect!! I had never heard of Ducking. I may need to ask my neighbor gal - who drives a white Jeep - is she has experienced that. A fun tradition.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have a "his & hers" set of quilts. <3 Thanks for sharing in Sew & Tell.
ReplyDeleteNow this one goes with our Blue Jeep! LOL. Love it.
ReplyDeleteBoth are great quilts. My son has a Jeep. I gave a couple of the yellow duckies I was given as a teacher to my grandkids to put in his jeep. It took him weeks to realize he had them on his dash! He's never asked me about them!
