ZION NATIONAL PARK TABLE TOPPER/WALL HANGING

A couple of months ago while visiting Zion National Park (my favorite of all the NP's we've been to so far), I happened to see several great fabric quilt block sets for sale in the gift shop. They come with a pattern and so I decided it would be fun to make a table topper/wall hanging. I took the blocks to one of my local quilt shops to find some batiks that I could use with them. Early Wednesday evening, after playing golf, I decided I was going to start this project, but wait to finish it on Thursday.....didn't happen....cut everything out....went out for dinner...continued working on it and stayed up late to get the top done, backing and batting cut, all pinned (using my new Pinmoors that I just love!!!) and binding ready. I wasn't sure how I was going to quilt it, so I had to set it aside on Thursday.  After a fun day out with my hubby, I took another look at it and knew that stitch-in-the-ditch was going to be perfect for this, along with stitching a large 'X' in the corner nine-patch blocks.  The blocks can be found at a link here to Old America Antiques, the company that makes the set I used and many, many more. (I am not associated with, nor am I sponsored by, this company...just trying to let people know where to find these fun blocks if you are not near a National Park and are interested).
