The panel name is "Unknown Intruder". I bought it at fabric.com. They've since sold out of this panel, but have replaced it with one of the same name, but a different scene. I am so happy with how this turned out and we're going to have one happy GS! He's nearly 19 and a hunter.

I've put a sleeve on the back to hang this with, since it's smaller than I'd like for a lap quilt for a man, at a finished size of about 40" X 48".

I did some things I haven't done in quilting yet, such as the smaller stippling at top center of the panel, trapunto on the deer, tree trunk on the left, pine on the right and the grass at deer's feet. Still have some improving to do, but overall pretty satisfied with how it turned out!

Thanks for looking.

Nicely done, Helen! :)

That's so nice. I love panels! You did a great job with the quilting. I'm sure your GS will love it!!

I love this! You did a great job and your quilting is very nice. It will be well loved!

Its gorgeous and you done a wonderful job.

Very nice!! Perfect for the hunter!

How neat!!

But when I read the topic title, Unknown Intruder, the first thing I thought of was the dang mouse I have in my house; and I was wondering how and why anybody would want to make a mouse quilt, ha ha! :D

its very nice good job!!!

It is beautiful! He will love it.

Very nicely done, and I love the backing fabric! Your grandson will surely be proud as punch to get this quilt!

Beautiful quilt

Funny, Jan! You'll have to set in a stock of food for the winter to keep it happy if you don't catch it soon! lol
I remember my MIL chasing a mouse in her house for weeks. She finally cornered it behind the fridge, then couldn't get it out because the cat kept vigil day and night. They eventually pulled the fridge out so it had to make a move.

Great job and great for a Grandson that hunts.

I made two different deer panel quilts for two of my deer hunting Grandsons, I put borders on them to make them big enough for their beds. They loved them and your Grandson will love this wallhanging.

He'll love it !

Love it, great job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day

WOW!! Beautiful work. He will love it...especially since Gram made it for him!!

beautiful, love the deer ,looks like a painting. good job

great quilting on a beautiful nature panel.

Very nice quilt - just the thing for a hunter.

oh...it's wonderful!!!

Great quilting job. Love the panel.

Aren't panels fun! You can try quilting techniques you wouldn't want to try on a big quilt. A good job and I know the recipient will love it.

Helen it's looks very nice and I love the scene. I bought one similar to that one. I love the wild life panels they are so nice. Your GS should love that if he's a hunter. It's just beautiful. Sue

Very nice quilt. Your grandson is going to love it.

Very nice and perfect backing.

Very nice! :)

Wow, That is impressive

Your quilting is quite lovely! I'm sure your GS will be thrilled to have it.

Lovely! Your GS will be very happy!

That is a beautiful panel and you did a good job with finishing it out into a quilt. Nice!

Many thanks to everyone for all the great compliments.

We are in awe of the scene on this quilt and keep gazing at it with every opportunity, but alas, it gets wrapped and packaged up today to go into tomorrow's mail. We'll miss it so guess we'll have to either make another one or visit him often! ; )

Our grandson lives in Florida, and is a great hunter, loves all wildlife and is very warm blooded, hence the reason for making this into a wall hanging. I guess it's still big enough to cuddle under if he wanted to, though, but don't see him doing that. He just moved into his own place this past weekend so will be looking for things to hang on his walls, I'm sure. Can't wait to see what he does with it!

Helen

he will love it!!

That is so beautifull

Wow! My brother wants me to make him a quilt from the "unknown intruder" panel with 4 little scenes in it...I personally liked the one you have done! wow it looks soo nice...but I will have to do the scene he likes haha...amazing job it turned out so awesome! I am a huge hunter so this really catches my eye!
