EVERGREEN STATE is together! My block of the month from a local quilt shop is in its finishing stages. It needs two rows of sashing for the top be final. One will be wheat, and one dark green.
I changed one block. On the instructions the block on the lower left had the spools of thread with pennant flags above. I removed the flags and replaced them with two Martha Washington 6 inch quilt blocks. It took a bit of research to find a block that had significance with all the other Washington themed blocks. Then the block was sized at 12 inches finished. Reducing the size challenged all my math skills, especially the tiny pinwheels in the center.
I love living in Washington, the evergreen trees, the tulip fields with snowy mountains behind, even the rain.
Here's a closer look at the ferry . . . It was quite a challenge as well.
There are a few pieces that are from a panel, which I usually don't care for, but they finish this in a way I can live with.
Tomorrow I'll be sewing the wheat, a salute to the east side of the state with lots of agriculture: wheat, hops, apples, pears, apricots, and ready right now: asparagus.
