River Run - Applique Crossing Wall Hanging Pattern

Bring the quiet beauty of the wilderness into your home with the River Run: Crossing Appliqué Wall Hanging Pattern by Wildfire Designs Alaska.
This peaceful and powerful design captures a touching moment in nature — a mama and calf moose carefully crossing a lake, creating a scene full of movement, connection and calm.
Using appliqué combined with a pieced background, this pattern turns fabric into a scenic landscape quilt that feels more like a painting than a traditional block design.
The gentle reflections in the water and the strong silhouettes of the moose make this wall hanging especially striking when displayed as textile art.
This design can be made as a standalone wall hanging or combined with the other River Run patterns to create a larger, multi-panel display.
Finished at 24in x 28.5in, it’s the perfect size for feature walls, hallways, cabins, or nature-inspired interiors.
Whether you’re a wildlife lover, a fan of landscape quilts, or simply want to stitch something truly different, River Run: Crossing offers a rewarding project with dramatic visual impact.
