Wapiti....Wedding Quilt

 

I began stitching this quilt 4 months ago...

It started with an Elk fabric panel...

I added a light inner border to

brighten up this dark panel...

added a second green border...

then I began assembling 9 patch blocks

and decided to set them on point

to add some movement to the quilt...

in July added the two final borders...

blue tree fabric and yellow tree fabric.

Last week I got it....under the needle

of my Handi Quilter Sweet Sixteen Long Arm...

I took it for Show 'n Tell

to my local quilt group this week:

They helped me with a quick photo shoot...

the very sunny day bleached out the colors

a bit but you can see it in its' entirety...

This was created as a wedding quilt

for our friends who live along

The Big Elk River...

Native American tribes hold the elk, Wapiti, 

in high esteem and consider him 

a relative—a relative who brings 

strength, endurance, and patience.
