It seems appropriate today
To post about something inspired by one of the greatest ideas the United States ever came up with.
I finished my National Park quilt over the weekend.
A detail of the quilting pattern of a geyser, the stencil for which my friend M. made for me:
And the label, which wasn't attached yet when I took the picture, but is now [g]. The national park names correspond to the cross-stitch pictures on the front of the quilt.
There are over 1600 different fabrics in this quilt. The only ones that are duplicated anywhere in the quilt are the taupe Yellowstone print (in the blank squares in the Irish chain pattern, and in the border), the green pine needly print in the border, and the woodgrainish print in the binding.
I first started the cross stitch for this quilt four years ago, so I've been working on this one (off and on, always) for a long, long time.
