Ohio Quilt
 

Here's a small 2'x 2' quilt I made to hang on my sewing room wall showing all 88 counties in Ohio using batiks.

Go Bucks!

very nicely done

Oh, wow, looks great!

Really nice! Were the counties appliqued? Surely not pieced!

so lovely. Your quilt is a marvelous tribute to your state.:thumbup:

boy, for a minute there i thought it was 2 inches!!! great job!

Terrific! Really well done :-)

Very clever. Turned out very nice.

Very well done!! I love batiks, they are such a pleasure to work with and I love the colors you chose.

Impressive! That took a lot of time and research.

Very well done & impressive. There are 254 counties in Texas & some are very small. I don't think I could ever make a wall hanging like yours but would love one.

Nicely done. I like what you did with the quilting. Here in Georgia that would be 159 counties.

WOW! That is amazing and so pretty.

So pretty. Very clever and unique.

That came out great! Makes me want to do one for Massachusetts.

Well, that is just too cute. Did you have a pattern or did you make your own?

Well done!

Very nice quilting!

Wow. Looks so nice!!

Love it! I'm orange at the top.

Really cool!

WOW, our 5 yr. old grandson would love that. He is interested in maps of all kinds and is constantly quizzing his parents on the capitals and population statistics. I am never playing trivial pursuit with him, his memory is photographic.

Wow, that's fantastic! Was it a pattern or did you work from a map?

Very nice! Love the circular quilting!

Wow! Great job putting all of those pieces in place.

nicely done.

Nice Ohio.

I printed off a county map from the Internet and with my overhead projector, I traced it to a muslin base. I traced each county onto freezer paper and ironed to the batiks. I cut some of the batiks a little larger than the freezer paper so that they would lay beneath the surrounding county. Then I used Elmer glue and glued the pieces to the muslin base and then quilted.

it looks great, nice job with the colors

Beautiful! Neat idea.

Your wall hanging is amazing, great job!!!

Wow, that is amazing. Love the quilting you did on it.

This is beautiful!!

Being from Ohio I love it!!
