This wallhanging featured in an old book that I have has always fascinated me.

Several summers ago, I decided to put one together.

It is fused and machine buttonhole appliqued and machine quilted.

If I were to do it over, I would have picked different colors even though I think these go very nicely together.

A long and narrow piece, it would look nice in an entryway with high ceilings or over a fireplace as in the first photo.
I had almost forgotten this was in the closet. It was a fun piece to do. (Click to enlarge)
