Project Quilting started Sunday. The theme this week is Hometown Proud. I am from a small town in Wisconsin called Monticello. We have a monument at our in town lake. This is my inspiration:
I went right to my local quilt store and purchased some batiks. I thought that would give my quilt some depth and texture. Here is the finished quilt:
It measures about 12x19.
I used different techniques to make this quilt. There is applique and free motion quilting. And the whole quilt is patchwork. I cut all of my squares at 2 1/2. The hardest part was cutting out the name. I secured them with clear thread.
Here is another picture of the detail on the monument:
I am linking up to PQ 9.1. Voting starts after 12 noon on Sunday. Wish me luck!
