I am so excited to be finished with my husband's deer quilt. This project was really fun since I was designing the blocks improv as I went and then sized them all and came up with the final layout. It is machine quilted with a pattern that resembles wood grain to go with the woodsy effect in the fabric. I had originally seen a similar quilt here: http://tallgrassprairiestudio.blogspot.com/2009/05/for-jon-with-love.html
So I emailed Jacquie to ask if she minded if I made a similar quilt...she was so sweet and didn't mind.
I really love this quilt! I have three sons and this would be perfect for my oldest as loves the woods and deer. What fabric is that with the deer? I tried searching fabric shack for deer fabric but no luck.
