Trail Blazer

Working on this new quilt.  It is for the trailer - hence the name Trail Blazer.  We will be blazing new trails!  Looking forward to it.  Our first trip will be to the east coast next year.  This quilt was made with 2.5 x 7 inch strips.  Used only fabric I already had that came from Bali (2009 trip).  I got a little cut happy though and cut way too many strips.  So will have to think of another quilt to do with all the extra 2.5 inch strips.  Did purchase the yellow batik for the strips between the braids.  Have a blue fleece with maple leaves for the backing.  Will be a cuddle quilt so it is light and easy to wash.  Don't think we need anything too warm for the trailer as we don't plan on doing any winter camping.

Here is the top of the quilt finished ...
