Binary Code Mancave Quilt...

I killed two birds with one stone on this quilt....

First, the colors were selected by Ryan for his mancave and they came from the package of Quadratini cookies....black, gray, red, brown.  This meant I could use the quilt for the Product Challenge at LVMQG.  Next, I had been promising Ryan a quilt for the new mancave so he was happy I jumped on this before he was gone to college...

The coolest thing about the quilt is its hidden meaning.... Ryan learned about binary code this year in computers ( the zeros and ones that make up letters in computer code).  Anyhow, each row of the quilt is the binary code for a letter in his name.  Each letter is 8 zeros and ones....and he has 10 letters between his first and last name.  Ryan H----on.  If you look at the quilt, you will see all the binary code that spells out his full name.  Also, so that you know which side is up, there is red binding in the top left corner that signifies the top of the quilt.  How totally nerdy awesome is that???

I quilted it with vertical lines 1" apart....with my Juki. 

Anyhow, this is a super awesome man quilt.  Also, the whole thing is made from recycled men's plaid shirts for my plaid shirt hoard.... fantastic!!
