It arrived.

At 6:43 I received a phone call from Don and Pat that "my child has arrived", that is the quilt panels were safely at their house.  I cannot tell you how nervous I had been for the last 48 hours... hoping that my quilts did not end up like lost luggage. 

The next part of this venture is the hanging.  Don has promised some pictures of the process.

On its journey

I packed the three pieces last night, having cut down a packing box to fit, folding the panels ever so gently, wrapping the pieces in plastic, taping the box to pieces.  Taking it to the post office for Express Mail delivery was like sending my children off to college.... you know it will be fine but it's still a parting.

By Wednesday, it will be arriving at its permanent home in Plain, Washington.

The mountains actually do line up... just the wind caught this one. 

The Final Mountainside (hanging)

Okay.  All the views you have seen so far are on the art piece laying on my living room floor.  Here is one of it hanging in the courtyard at my work.  You can see glimspes of the bricks at the bottom.

I think it it the truest representation so far of the sky colors.
