A taller wall hanging from Elyn's quilted series, sized at 106 cm including the hanging loops by 42 cm wide. The proportions sit between a banner and a small bed runner, which makes it useful above a bed, along a hallway, or as a soft vertical in a kitchen where you might otherwise hang a print.
The construction follows the same disciplined sequence as her other linen pieces. The blocks are machine-pieced for a clean line, then layered with cotton batting and hand-quilted through all three thicknesses. The binding is finished by hand.
Five-centimetre fabric loops are stitched along the top edge so the hanging can be slid onto a length of wooden dowel. The dowel is sold separately at most hardware shops and can be cut to width.
