Coastal Quilters Chapter Banner #11
At long last, here it is–laid out on the design wall anyway! I did the applique for the top border, and will be adding a chickadee and pine bough (state bird and tree/flower), and some flying geese going from the sky up into the top border. The blocks aren’t in their final positions…need to do some fine tuning, and need to add the Elm Street Schoolhouse block, the Camden Public Library, Tower on Mt. Battie and islands in the bay, as well as the inner border. Hmm… a fair amount to do, but eager to do it!
Now I need to get cracking and finish my parts of the construction and start quilting! This is gonna be FUN! As I said in the first of these posts a while ago, I am SO PROUD of each and every person who contributed to this quilt. It is going to be the finest Chapter Banner in the state, and there are some pretty fine banners out there. I am SO LUCKY to have moved to Camden, and to Maine, and to have found such a wonderful and supportive group of quilters here. Life is good!

Wow Sarah… I really like it. What a huge project. And I am thrilled that you are going to enter it in Houston. That’s perfect.

Sarah: Just came across your blog for the first time and had to tell you how beautiful the Coastal Quilters Banner is. I too am a member of the Coastal Quilters, but in Santa Barbara, California. Here’s the link: http://www.coastalquilters.org/
