This cute luggage fabric has been my closet for over 15 years. It was intended to become a shirt back when I worked in the tourism industry, but I never got around to sewing it.
Now
it's a travel quilt! I found several red, blue, and gray fabrics to
coordinate with the busy pattern. I designed the square in a
snowball block in EQ8, with different dies in mind (listed below) to
cut all the pieces and sashing.
Life's
A Trip is 41” x 52” in size. I quilted in 1” vertical rows
with dark gray thread. I used the luggage fabric for backing.

We
didn't take any trips in 2020 and I do miss camping. When I feel safe
enough to get on the road again, this quilt will make a nice addition to our
gear in our truck/fifth wheel.
