My cousin wants me to make her a quilt. She has even told me what colors she prefers. But I have something different in mind.

Her dad worked on the railroad. I have some striped fabric that looks like the overalls he used to wear. I thought of getting some bandana material in red & blue. At first I was going to make the periwinkle quilt using the bandana material for the kite shape. But I would lose what is left of my mind trying to match those stripes. So, I am looking for suggestions on what pattern I can use.

I guess I should mention that she has superimposed a pic of her dad over the Rock Island logo and I was going to ask her to send me the file so I could print that out and use as a center block in the quilt.
