This is the second half of my Christmas present for my brother and sister-in-law. This is a quilted family name wall hanging. I looked for ideas on other family name wall hangings, but all the ones I liked used different media, often wood, so I had to make it up.
This is appliquéd; the big G has the raw edge turned under, whereas the green is all raw edged appliqué and then stitched around with cotton thread to match. For quilting, I used Essence invisible thread to stitch in the ditch around everything. Then I did a small fill on the entire background to let the letters pop. There is a hanging sleeve on the back.
