Yay, I am still holding at 100% on my 15 minutes of sewing per day.
I finished binding Journey to Arizona this morning and now have 2 finishes for 2021.
This quilt does have a fun story. My husband had a desire to walk/bike/hike from our home to the Arizona border (257 miles). This quilt tells our story. This link will take you to photos and stories of our journey.
- Each log in the braid represents 1 mile.
- White sections are one day and black sections are another day.
- I stitched the dates into the beginning log of each day section.
- Yellow squares: Hubby walked alone
- Purple squares: We walked together
- Orange squares: We biked together
- Green squares: He biked alone
- The panel at the bottom is a filler piece, but it is a print that looks just like the beautiful country we journeyed in.
I have to say that we walked/biked through the prettiest country in our beautiful state!
