sewing a landscape

As promised, here is what I'm working on for my bed! Chris asked for bedding for Christmas (I know, I'm so lucky!) and I used that as an excuse to make a new quilt for our bed. Of course.

I love that this quilt is called Hills 'n' Hollers. The hills are all applique. I am definitely no expert. I sewed on these two hills last night. I'm pretty sure it took me an hour or more. Hopefully by the end I will become a super speedy applique expert. Otherwise, this could take a while.
wish me luck!

Good luck! Can hardly wait to see the finished product. It's so refreshing and inspiring to see the beautiful photos of things you have created.

Yes, wow! That's quite the undertaking, but I know you'll do it and it'll look great! What a great feeling too to know you made it yourself.

I absolutely love the quilt! I need to learn to applique. I tried it once and it didn't go so well. I think I started out trying to do something too difficult. Yours looks beautiful though.
