Bloggers Quilt Festival - Legendary quilt

When we went on a recent holiday to Canada and the USA to celebrate our 50th birthdays this year, I returned with plans to make a special quilt for my hubbys actual birthday which is coming up soon.

I purchased the Legendary pattern by Elizabeth Hartman and some of the fabrics whilst we were away as I was lucky to visit the Prickly Pear quilt shop in Montana, and the Rushin Tailors quilt shop in Skagway, Alaska. 

The trees in the quilt were made from the Bali pops jelly roll and I have used different strips for each part of the tree.

And I found the perfect woodgrain print for the tree trunks.

For the background, I used a Moda Basic Grey Grunge fabric in cream. 

The Sasquatch was made using a brown grunge blender.

I found the backing fabric at my LQS, "Rainbow Patchwork"  and the quilt was also long arm quilted there by Karen.

It was when we met up with the local "Sasquatch" in Harrison Hot Spings, on our second day of the trip that I knew that I just had to make the Legendary quilt.

Hoping hubby loves his new quilt and that it brings back memories of our first overseas holiday together.
