I created this quilt for the "Put a Roof Over Our Head" quilting contest for Alliance For American Quilts in Spring 2006.

I was living in the mountains at the time and liked the idea of doing a landscape. As the idea evolved I began to picture myself standing on a porch, looking out over the mountainous landscape. My real life front porch looked out onto a garden and a driveway at the time. Not exactly picturesque!

This quilt was made using Ann Holmes's No Sewing Until You Quilt It method of french fusible applique. This piecing technique allows you to get the whole quilt top together without taking a single stitch until you're ready to quilt your quilt!

In the summer of 2006, I created a variation of this quilt called "Pyramid Landscape" for a family member.
