Adventure Quilt

My 2020 Adventure quilt is done ahead of schedule!

Such a rarity in the quilting world, right?  But after I finished the last two blocks and assembly at the virtual retreat my guild put on earlier this month, it was a breeze to baste and quilt this.  I did a simple meander in gray over the entire thing and was able to quilt the whole thing in a single afternoon with only two bobbin changes!

This quilt was a yearlong event put on by my guild.  Each month was created by a different member - you may remember that back in May I contributed a 12" block featuring two borders and triangles.  We weren't working together and we didn't have any priority knowledge of what the other blocks would be.  I told my aunt my vision for this quilt was "something you'd see in a picture book" and I think I succeeded!

My original thought was to photograph this at our local aviation museum, but it was closed due to COVID.  My son and I decided to stop at the nature preserve instead and agreed this log over a winding creek was better anyway - most of our 2020 adventures did involve nature!  And the back of the quilt does give a nod to greater adventure!

Finishing this quilt was my November goal and I'm linking up my successful finish with Elm Street Quilts!
