My favourite is the little teepees
I quilted it with a square stipple. For the most part I'm happy with it. Not perfect by any means but finished is better than perfect right?
backing is Little Apples by Aneela Hoey and the binding is 5 different grey jellyroll strips from my stash trimmed down to 2 1/8". It just worked!
Done.
quilt stats:
pattern- made up as I went along
fabrics- Indian Summer and 1 piece of Road 15
background is Moda off white
40 x 58
pieced and quilted by me
If you haven't entered my give-away yet there's still time. You have until bed time on the 26th : )
That looks great. Like the pic of the snow. But thank goodness rarely do we ever get that stuff where I live in South Carolina, USA.

ReplyDeleteIt's a record cold here in Kansas City as well...but not below zero like you! Winter Shminter!! What a darling quilt. I've never tried that square stipple but want to. I'd also like to try cutting my binding down 1/8 inch less than my standard 2 1/4...I'll do that next time. Is your quilt for anyone special?
