Quilt of the Month – January 2017
Here in Nashville, we’ve had unseasonably warm temps and a lot of gray skies and rain this month. It hardly put me in the mood to work on a snowflake quilt that I had planned for January. To all of my friends and family in snow-filled climates, I hope this quilt feels more “January appropriate” to you than it does for me! Maybe if I had finished it at the first of the month….
I used several different fabrics with snowflakes – some white on white, some gold on white, and for the main pixelated snowflake, gold on gold. The back is a gold-flecked fabric as well. I also chose a gold thread, to do it up right. The edge-to-edge quilting is a snowflake design (what else?) that incorporates swirls of one large and one small snowflake throughout. Nice example of a modern/contemporary quilt!
