01-30-2022I really like your quilt. I was not too wild about some of the MN fabric in 2011. I did make a quilt for my son (who lives in Colorado but only usued a couple of the more solid pieces and the focus fabric print and then several other fabrics. Turned out wonderful and at least it has the touch of MN with the focus fabric in it (the deer, loons, pheasants, cabins. lakes, docks, etc. I am in the Southwest section for the MN Shop Hop. I did the Southeast section, too, last year on a Bus and would like to go up north on a bus this year for the Shop Hop. It's fun to see other shops.

I Love the quilting pattern at the top of the second photo. Wonder if you could find out the name of the pattern if it is a panto or freehand. Lived in Duluth MN from 1975 to 1977 while my husband was in the Air Force (a lifetime ago) and we both loved it. Have been back once in 2000 with our two kids showing them where our married life began right after we were married. Have the fondest of memories. Originally Posted by sandrab64

I try to do my own quilting but decided I'm going to treat myself once in a while. Quilt pattern is "In Flight" from Country Fabrics and Quilting in Brainerd, MN. I decided to name it Minnesota Skies because of the flying geese and the fact that our family has a cabin by Brainerd, MN, that we love to spend time at. Can't wait for summer to get here!
We did and do live in Stratford, CT.

What a great quilt to cuddle with at your cabin! Very pretty pattern and great fabrics. I find that using a LAQ is really the best solution if I'm not able to just do a quilt in the ditch, or it's too big to do an over all design. I looked at the cost of one of the LA's and decided that I could have an awful lot of quilts done for that same amount of money.
