This is another project that son #2 has been waiting and waiting for me to finish. I got this pattern and kit on a trip up to Jackson, WY a few years ago. I worked on it . . . little by little by little. I had everything done but the quilting and binding and finally over the recent holiday weekend I decided to just sit myself down and get it finished.
For some reason, machine quilting scares me! I hunted around for a chalk marker to measure and outline some sort of quilting pattern and then, when I couldn't find the marker, I just sat down and whipped it out. And it turned out great. Sometimes I just over think, I guess.
Anyway, here is the finished wallhanging. It is a pattern called "Life in the Tetons" by SMG Quilts.
Here is a close up. The appliqué is very detailed and cutting it all out was tedious - but it was well worth it. It is actually one giant piece - connected to itself. The details are wonderful. The background fabric is perfect.
Now we're just waiting for the quilt hanger we want to order to come back in stock. Son #2 is very excited to have something to put on his bedroom wall.
And another long unfinished project finally completed. That does feel good!
