Maine Anniversary Quilt



I said I would write a blurb for this blog every month and I'm sneaking this in on the last night of March. This quilt was a lot of fun because I used huge pieces of cloth to make an image portraying Maine as I remember it and as I saw it viewing Google Images. I used a contrasting thread for the quilting and the greenish gold really shows up nicely on the pine trees. I appliqued the leaves as I quilted and I am pleased with their randomness.
Now I've moved on to a commission based on the seven continents and I am glad to report that I'm still having fun...
