I pulled out the crazy quilt that I've been working on for a few years featuring the landmarks of McHenry Illinois where I live. I still have a few blocks to go but this is the old Iron Bridge over the Fox River. It was built in 1881 and replaced with concrete bridge in 1976:
The colors are brighter than they look here. I need to get a new digital camera so for now, I'm just using the camera on my cellphone.
Here's the entire quilt so far:

This quilt is pieced entirely by hand on a cotton foundation. A lace is either vintage or antique. Each block has a spider and spider web on it. The spiders are made from vintage Mother Of Pearl buttons.
The next block is our Brewery. I'll post a photo when it's complete.
What a cool idea! Sounds like McHenry has lots of landmarks.
