"Chief Sherpa" by me

When we get to ride Cycle Oregon, we camp with a group called "Team Soaras", and our friend Ted is the "Chief Sherpa" for us.  That means that he organizes
the Sherpas who set up camp or us, and make the coffee in the morning, and provide the adult beverage of your choice at the end of the ride.  Team Soaras is the only way to do Cycle Oregon.  As a small thank you to Ted for his hard work, I made him this quilt. 

Ted teaches firefighting at Chemeketa Community College, and so when I found this firefighter fabric in Waldport, I knew that I had to have it for Ted's quilt. I had decided by that time that the quilt would be red, black and white, and I was pretty sure that this was the correct pattern.  It's paper pieced, something I don't usually do, but I'm glad I took a chance and really worked at that technique.  Quilted with freehand f'lames, to keep the firefighter theme going.
