| Historic Cobban Bridge Slice Quilt |
I got an update this week regarding the collaborative slice quilt project I contributed to earlier in the year. It is now quilted and bound and at its first outing this weekend as an entry in the Chippewa Valley Quilt Guild show. Mary, who organizes this, sent along pictures for all of us to see how it finished out, and I am still amazed at how we managed to do a dawn to dusk transition across the 4 slices while working independently from the same photo.
Mary added some additional information in her email to us - be sure to look for these features when you click on the photos for a larger view. "If you zoom in, you will see the beautiful quilting Pat did. She did the bridge reflections on Wanda's and mine, but it is very subtle. She made many thread color changes also, as seen on the back side. Alice, thank you for doing the binding. She added some puffy 3D rocks to hers." Mary is also the one who found that marvelous bridge fabric for the backing.
The label on the back includes a photo transferred to fabric of the historic marker at the bridge site. Unfortunately, I understand the efforts to save this bridge from demolition were not successful. But it lives on in our quilt!

OUTSTANDING!!!!!
How wonderfully that turned out! You must be very happy with your slice. Hope you're enjoying fall. x
What a wonderful collaborative project! I hope it travels to many shows because the work is well worth viewing! Jan in WY
Thanks! We are rather surprised at ourselves. Ready to take on our next photo challenge. :-)
I love how this turned out! I amazed that you were all working independently, and how well everything matched up! And the dawn-to-dusk idea is yet another transition to add to the mix!
Thanks Michele! Of the 4 other ladies involved, I only know two well, and so know their quilting style but that doesn't seem to be entering into the equation. Everyone seems to be letting loose with this and doing things they wouldn't normally do. So I think the cohesion and matching and dawn to dusk thing is even more amazing.
