Free pattern – West Coast Cruisin’
West Coast Cruisin’ is a fun, happy quilt with vans reminiscent of the 60s and 70s. It would make the perfect gift for the retro lover in your life.
The fabrics used in each of the four vans and roof racks are also featured in the eight different colors of Flying Geese, making this a vibrant and colorful creation.
