The local quilting group in my town (4-12, depending) worked on it over the past year, and it was quilted by a local long-arm quilter. I requested NO feathers, only leaves, grass, prairie flowers, etc. The label is a joy in itself -- gotta find my photo! Ever since I moved to Nebraska, I've been smitten by the history of the early pioneers, their perseverance, and the enormous blue skies and hoped that spirit would show in this quilt. I aimed for gender neutral and UN- FUSSY. 8-)) Tickets are not yet made up - I think they are ready for our September meeting. There is a definite layout to the blocks.
Now, the Guild Quilt Mom has it and it will travel to various locations over the next year. I'm glad to have had a part in this project, but REALLY glad to have it on it's way and DONE. It's perfectly square and straight - must be hanging crooked!
There is a row of piping between the quilt and border, and another row of piping between the outer border and binding. Size is 91 in. x 101" after quilting and washing. BTW, I washed this quilt with my homemade laundry detergent and it came out just lovely!
Gorgeous... just gorgeous!!! Congratulations on such a spectacular finish, Elaine!
