Long lost update

Well, just a quick update... and some finished photos.  Dan and Pat decided on a backing fabric ... which of course had to be backordered, and then was delayed even more.  And on my end the quilted process took longer than I had anticipated due to the fact that my machine has a small arm.  For you none sewers this meant that when I rolled up over 4 feet of the project so I could quilt at the half-way mark, it was awfully tight and slow going for those middle sections.  Even when I was going width-wise, I have no table in my house long enough to support the full quilt so it didn't "drag" as I was quilting the sky lines.

This is the left panel.  It really accentuates the contrast between the sky and the moutnatins in the distance.  I especially like how I've quilted the pine trees in the foreground.

The left panel balances the nearby pine and the mountains while still retaining that feeling of the distance.  .
