The funny thing is, when I was a kid, I would have seen roads for my cars too.

  8. What a very beautiful quilt!
    Are the centers of the squares embroidered?
    I have such an appreciation for the hard work and time that goes into crafting such a beautiful keepsake.
    I made a quilt once.
    Took me quite a while to finish it - but when I tuck my youngest into bed and wrap him up in the double sized quilt that covers his bed, I ask him who's arms are hugging him tonight and he answers 'yours.'
    One of the favorite things I love to hear.

  10. Looks like gridlock to me! If he can figure out how to resolve that, he's got a really bright future ahead of him.

  11. That quilt is beautiful! Will she make me one? LOL
    I loved matchbox cars too and would have seen roads well - I guess great minds do think alike.
