I started it in 2018, so finishing in 2019 isn't too bad, for this ADHD quilter!
Russell is throw sized (there are other size options with the pattern), 40" by 47" or thereabouts. The fabrics are from my stash and my local quilt store, ThreadBear. Quilting was also done there, by Michael Siewert, my local go-to long armed quilter.

| Thanks to TJB for being the quilt holder. |
Backing is also from ThreadBear, an early Art Gallery print in total harmony with the quilt's colors.
Here's a close up of the quilting, an all-over panto.
This was a challenging quilt to make, and many thanks to Ann Siewert at ThreadBear, who made the quilt first and was able to explain the nuances and pitfalls as I paper pieced it.
I'm thinking of re-launching the blog, but still in the thinking stages. Let me know what you think.
OH, Bridget--what a beautiful, evocative quilt! I see the river leading up to hills and mesas, a glorious sunrise, and an quiet, barely lit sky that perfectly illustrates the long arm pattern. Wow. As usual, I am in awe of your skill and eye.
