Moose On The Loose.

Posted on | February 18, 2023 | 14 Comments

A moose quilt was requested by our eldest grandie. The family spent time at Yellowstone National Park last year and the moose was the standout animal. So it was no surprise when that was requested as the theme for her next quilt.

I didn’t have to search too far as I had purchased a pattern from The Red Boot Quilt Co a while back. The design was approved so away I went. And this is the result.

The fence is a great place to hang a quilt until you realise there is a fence post pushing the quilt out! Never mind. It’s a good size – 62 X 78 ins – so will easily fit the bed in her dorm room with a bit to spare. She attends a residential Governor’s School For The Arts

I was able to have a bit of fun with the fabrics and slipped in a few references to Australia, even though the quilt will be living in the US.

Aboriginal designs in the antlers.

Melbourne trams in the background.

Gum leaves in the block borders.

Flowering gum blossoms in the body.

And then with other blocks I just played with some fun fabrics.

I found a lovely blue backing in my stash and then selected a a stripe to use for the binding.

If all goes to plan it should be in the mail on Monday, heading over the seas.

I wouldn’t mind if I could do that, too. Keep enjoying the weekend.

Cheers, Karen
