Winter in Lincoln County #1, Finished!

I'm so excited to have a finish to share with everyone today!  I love the way this quilt turned out and I wish you could see it in person (for some reason the varying whites in the snow just don't come out well in pictures).

For those of you who haven't been following along, you can find out more about the whole process for this quilt by clicking the Orchard label in my sidebar.  This quilt was based on several pictures of my parent's mixed fruit orchard in Ruidoso Downs, NM, the home I wish I could get back to more often.

Enjoy and happy weekend!

    The quilt is stunning. The "cubes" in the sky are reminiscent of ice crystals in the air on a really cold winter day.

    This is absolutely, positively fabulous! I love everything about it, the pieced sky, the snow on the branches, the quilting on the snow, even the label. Bravo!

    The trees are wonderful, as is the quilting on the snow. (Blogger is not accepting wordpress id, FYI)
