Stack n wack for DH, Way Up North
 
6 Attachment(s)
This was a Christmas present for my DH. I had just enough of the focus fabric in my stash to make 15" blocks, the back shows the tiny bit of original focus fabric that I had leftover. The song, North to Alaska, by Johnny Horton has been a long time favorite of my DH, we sing it occasionally for friends and family when we want to get a good laugh. I sing the baritone part "way up north" while DH sings the verses. When I decided to use this north lodge, wildlife type print for his quilt, the name Way Up North seemed to fit it to a T.I made it "recliner" sized, about 56x70.

Gorgeous quilt. It is awesome how different from the original fabric all the blocks turned out. The name is just perfect.
Great job!

Beautiful quilt. I'm sure he loves it.

That's really nice!

Wow, the quilt you made for your dh is very striking! It is always hard for people to find patterns they feel are masculine. I think you have found the perfect pattern to use those "Male/northwoods" fabrics in. I will keep this in mind for the next time I need to make a quilt for a male (our family is heavily into nature/woods/animals). Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful job. Is it flannel? It looks like it might be. I love your lable too.

Stunning quilt, I love the little black triangles they really make the blocks pop!

Great job! Love to see the "before" fabric too so thanks for posting that. I want to make a "recliner" quilt for my hubby since he seems to run colder these days.....we did an about-face with our temperatures. lol

It turned out beautiful. I have yet to do a Stack and Whack.

That is gorgeous!!! Love it!!!

audsgirl 01-16-2012 05:53 PM

What a terrific quilt! I love the black diamonds around the quilt between the blocks and the border. It all looks very masculine, but pretty at the same time.

SittingPretty 01-16-2012 06:00 PM

Really nice quilt. I'm sure he enjoys it a lot.

urgodschild2 01-16-2012 06:03 PM

Very cool - what a nice gift.

cat-on-a-mac 01-16-2012 06:08 PM

That's a really nice quilt. Love the way the moose is centered in that one block, and the way you got dark green tips on all your stars. Great!

r_leanso_c 01-16-2012 06:25 PM

I like that, very lovely.

Jingle 01-16-2012 06:52 PM

Fabulous quilt. Love the name.

sewbeadit 01-17-2012 01:37 AM

Now that is a cool quilt! Where did you find the red fabric with the moose on it? I remember Johnny Horton, we listened to him as a kid living at home, I haven't thought about that in a long time! Your back is better than my fronts!:o

Donna H-M 01-17-2012 02:24 AM

Just beautiful. Love this design!!! As always, great quilt, well done!! :)
