This quilt is based on a pattern called "Road to Dixie" which was a larger quilt. I reduced the size to be a square wall quilt for my parents' new house. Of course, not so new now, as it has taken me two years to finish!
My mom picked out the border fabric and I took it from there, choosing the rest of the fabrics. The room it is going into is their great room, combination living/dining room, and it has lots of red and forest green in it, with beige walls and a light wood floor.
I machine pieced the top, and then it took me over a year to figure out the design for my machine quilting. I finally came up with a plan, and this past Christmas break got it quilted at their house.

My mom was so glad to finally have it almost done (and I think she didn't want to see it leave her house again, for fear it would be another year before it came back) she volunteered to finish the binding on it.
I'm hoping next time we visit I'll find it hanging on their wall!
