I made the quilt top in early 2019, when I, Astrid, Jane, and Marsha all decided to do a Civil War Nine Patch quilt challenge. We each made one with a totally different theme than the others. I started hand quilting it in late June 2019 and I just finished in August of 2020. I took it with me camping at Lafferty Campground on the Payette National Forest, and worked on it there, as well as Wallowa Lake, Oregon, and on the Boise National Forest at Long Gulch Creek, Rattlesnake Creek, and finally finished at Smith Creek. I decided, since it is a Civil War Nine Patch and I quilted it in the great outdoors, I should get a photo of it at the O'Farrell Cabin. The O'Farrell Cabin was constructed in 1863.
This is me (Kirsten Larsen) posing with my hand-quilted gem of a project.
This is a bit close, so you can see my hand-stitching. I used red thread because I just could not resist. I think if you hoover your mouse over the photo you can click on it and enlarge it for even closer viewing.
