I call this quilt the "Outdoor Quilt." My niece, wanted an outdoor themed quilt for her high school graduation. I wasn't exactly sure what that meant, but I found some fabrics called Alpine that had foxes, birch bark, pebbles, topographical maps and other outdoor images on them.
So I picked up the jelly roll and started to make this quilt. That was 4 years ago.
I took the quilt back out in January on my quilt retreat and sewed the borders onto it. Here is it getting pinned to the backing. Once I got it home, I quilted it on my longarm and it looks so good with the quilting on it.
Last weekend I held my first Quilt Retreat weekend here at my house. Five of my quilty friends came over and we sewed all day on Friday and Saturday. Here I am sewing the binding onto the quilt. I can't even say how good it feels to finish these projects.
I told my niece today that her quilt was ready. She told me that she's graduating from college in a couple of months. I told her the quilt was for her graduation- I just didn't say which one! LOL She hasn't seen any of it yet, so I hope she likes what I interpreted as an Outdoor quilt.
