Yeah, I know, that was like, LAST year's mystery. But again, I have a baby now so I'm a little behind! ;c)
I've named this quilt "Scrappy Snow Day"
I used ALL SCRAPS in this quilt! I did not buy ONE SINGLE thing that was new. . I used all the stuff in my stash that had been collecting dust for years and years. All of my UGLYYYY fabrics. This is just to keep us warm. I wasn't trying to make a "pretty" quilt. I was just trying to use up some uglies. Bonnie patterns are always a LOT of work, but so worth it! I'm hoping this will replace my OLD bonnie quilt "Carolina Christmas" that has been used in rotation on my bed that I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE! I need to retire it because it is falling apart. Of course when I made THAT quilt I did NOT use an accurate seam allowance nor did I know how to free-motion quilt (which makes the seams last longer.) Also, I didn't know the importance of using bias binding. So. . the edges are fraying and worn out. I'ts been washed weekly though, for how many years? 5? 6?
Here are all my pieces ready to sew! I had already finished the 4-patch step!
Here is my finished blocks and triangle pieces.
Finished top - OH POOP! I messed up. . oh well, I'm keeping thisquilt so I'm leaving it ;c)
Here I am getting ready to baste - I had to push two big tables together - this was a bigggg quilt!
basting, basting....
anddddd DONE!
It's a snowy day here in Milton, WV - I used my fence as a quilt model ;c) It's very windy too!
