When I lived in Northern Utah my quilt style was very traditional. My previous home had wrap around porches, and was set on acreage with lawns and 100 year old trees. My quilts reflected the pioneer heritage of that area.
I now live in the desert, and most of my previous quilts do not match my home. I have been trying to make quilts that fit my current culture. I found this border fabric and it reminded me so much of Southern Utah. Not far from my house is a cliff full of Indian petroglyphs. Several are very similar to the markings on this fabric.
I was able to finish this entire quilt from my stash.
As I wrote in a previous blog, the Bridget Millar quilt was designed by Carolyn Konig. The pattern can be found in Volume 15 No. 11 of Australian Patchwork & Quilting magazine

Oh my Nedra...My DH would love to come and kidnap your quilt! LOL
He loves hunting for and photographing petroglyphs and every time we come to St George he tries to find something new. Last time we were there he took my camera and hiked up around the Maverick on the south side of town LOL
Lovely quilt and I'll take those traditional quilts if they need a new home LOL
