I mentioned in a previous blog post that my living room is decorated in a nautical/lighthouse theme. The most fun quilt that I made in 2008 is my 14 ft. long lighthouse banner. It hangs on a loft wall in my house as you can see in the following photos.

This banner was inspired by patterns I saw at my favorite quilt shop, Quilts n' Stuff, run by my friend Glenna. I used many of Glenna's Landmark Patterns on the quilt. These patterns use Glenna's machine drawing technique that is fun and easy to learn.

After making several of Glenna's patterns, I was able to customize and create a few unique blocks on my own.

I used to think I didn't like applique. Now I really enjoy applique and machine drawing!
