My Mom quilted the quit on her long-arm machine. I used an existing butterfly border and a book of southwest clip art to design the continuous line pattern used in the mesa areas.
I also made two matching pillow shams

the shape of your kokepeli are wonderful -- and the bunny, well what can say? :-) It is very evocative of the SW
You certainly took a lot of care in making that quilt. Your choices and symbolism for the SW was done so well. I am sure your parents love this beautiful quilt.

What a great quilt you made, I love the little human figure. Is it an existing traditional figure or did you invented it yourself?
Happy quilting.

Very creative quilt. Thanks for sharing.

Your quilt is great. It's always rewarding when we design something and it comes to pass. Great job!
My first comment didn't come up...just yet...so I'll repeat 'cause I want you to know that I love your quilt. What a great favorite to post.
Quilters are such special people! Your parents must treasure this so much. I love that they sent you pictures so you could share it here.
I love the stories behind each quilt, too. I once completed a 75-year-old family quilt top that was begun by a grandmother I never got to meet. I wrote about it here. It was quite an emotional experience for me.
Love your blog!
Wow -- this is wonderful. I'm so glad you were able to include a new picture so we could see all the borders. You have a real eye for design and the colors are perfect.
I'm having so much fun going thru these quilts. I'm in complete awe of so many - including yours. Great job.
Love the colors & simplicity of the applique motifs.
:)
