Modern Quilt Month: Puget Sound!

This original design quilt captures the complexity of one of the most famous waterways on the West Coast: Puget Sound, on the northwest coast of Washington state. Its striking scenery is beloved by sailors, residents, and visitors alike. This piece was finished by hand guided quilting on a stationary machine.

Puget Sound, made and quilted by Mary Hill.  

Winner of a Third Place (yellow) ribbon in the Art-Innovative category, Mary Hill explains: My sister requested I make her a quilt, as I had never done so.  I asked what type of quilt she wanted.  (Note to self:  never ask a non-quilter an open-ended question like that!)  She requested a map of Puget Sound, [so] I took the challenge on." The waterways were beautifully outlined by couching in white cord, shown below.
