"Rangers Pride" by mom

Mom, also known as Pat to the rest of the world, is making quilts for all the grandchildren. They get their choice of color and theme.  

Zachary is the musician in the group and his colors are black and red. 

Love the guitar that she appliqued in the center of the quilt.  It has strings that are stitched to the quilt top, and buttons sewn on for the string pegs and tuners.  The most amazing part to me is that the panto I chose had the perfect amount of open spaces, and they fell in just the right spot so I didn't have to take off any of the buttons for quilting!

 Mom's fabric choices included skulls, so I used a "Skull" panto for the quilting  Doesn't show on the front of the quilt, but the backing with red thread shows it well.  I used black and white variegated thread on the front which doesn't show well on the print fabrics, and fades in and out on the black border.  Gives it kind of a "ghostly" appearance.
