Winter Quilt

 So, I bought this cute tree template on the shop hop and thought it was a great idea for scraps. 

Sewing With Susan, is the company I got the template from.

Anyway, I opened up the green scrap bin and got busy, Dilly helped too. 


Then I got busy with a pretty snowy quilt design. Again, it's pretty dense and took a lot of bobbins and a solid 8 hours of Freddie and me working. It is pretty though!


And here it is on the quilt rack. Looks good!

I love the green scraps, see the TMNT?
This one is about 60"X75" so pretty good sized. 
On the darker trees you can see the design really well. 
It was about 3 degrees outside so no clothes line pictures!

I used up this funny stripe on the back-It's been in the stash for a long time!

Bob approves of the nice green striped binding too.

A Winter Quilt Finish

 

This is one of my favorite finishes! I just love how it came out.
This pretty panel is called Holiday Heartland from Henry Glass Fabrics. I got it on the All Iowa Shop Hop visit to Keeping You Sewing in Clinton, Iowa.
I don't remember where I got the quilts on a line fabric that is part of a large line of prints that go together, but it's so cute along the border. 

Here's the back it's some Christmas fabric from my stash. 
I did loopy free motion quilting on my BabyLock, and I did it in rows instead of meandering. I like how it looks! It reminded me of blowing snowing swirling around. 
I tried to get some pictures outdoors so the colors would be a little bit more true.
Between the wind and the shade, I wasn't too successful.
You can see the quilting a little bit better in these pictures.

I shopped my stash for the rest of the fabrics. 
Two shades of gray and the dark green were from Heritage Needlework in Amana. 

Here is is being spray basted on the garage door-it might be the last warm day I get to do this outdoors for awhile!
I used up all the big scraps of batting-no one will ever know!

And here are the blocks being laid out for a test.

Love it-and it's going to go live in Des Moines! Here's the link to the Free pattern!  The Henry Glass folks have a lot of free patterns and this one sewed up very well!
