I can study a map all day. It's just so interesting to look at places I've been, places family live, places I'd like to visit...I started this quilt years ago, and finally got it all put together. I almost ripped it apart and started over. I don't love it, but as I've said before I don't redo anything--too frustrating. I had planned to keep it for us--to get my kids interested in maps too, but after looking at it for years, I am okay with letting it go. Plus, we've got lots of new babies coming up (friends and family), I think this will make one of them happy.
The highlight of this quilt (for me) is the backing, perfect! We like to look for Texas in our family.
What a fun little quilt. I'm sure it will be loved where ever it ends up!
ReplyDeleteI too like maps, especially those brownish-antique looking ones. Your map quilt is so cute.

i recently used that US panel for part of a map quilt for my kids to use for school...it was lots of fun, but i am a amateur, yours is way nicer.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I was a geography major in college because of my love of maps. Where did you ever find this fabric?
