Today, I will begin its companion piece, which will hang right next to it. It too will feature a vineyard theme, with one focus fabric in particular that will tie the two together. And, I am going to use the same pattern. Many thanks to Patti, owner of Cabin Fever Quilt Shoppe in Auburn, CA for creating this wonderful and easy design. And, keep in mind that this was only the third quilt I made. It was easy, came together quickly because of the large blocks and makes a real statement in the room. My husband is very pleased with it, too! An added bonus.
Lesson Learned from This Project: When making a quilt for hanging that exceeds 60 inches, definitely make multiples sleeves for it. We had to cut a hole in the center of the sleeve to accommodate the middle bracket. When the companion piece is completed, I will take down this one and re-do the sleeve and have a professional come in to hang both the quilts properly. I fear that handy-man husband and his "all thumbs" spouse (me) likely didn't do the greatest job on the hanging part. I fear I will hear it come crashing down during the middle of the night sometime!
