Finally have a finish. Even though I worked a bit on fixing the corners on the baby blocks, I spent most of my time on the snowmen quilt. I reached a point where I just didn't want to stop.
Considering it was started as a way to use the orphan pine tree block and some already cut holiday fabric and scraps, I am very pleased. I think what makes me the happiest was turning a small stack of random triangles into an attractive round with NO leftovers.
I might try to applique a snowman on the hill with the trees and get Little S to embroider a snowflake or two in the sky when she is home for Thanksgiving.
Would I have put these colors together if I had planned ahead - maybe not. But I used up a lot of random bits and it works in its own way. Its smallish - just 43" x 48" - so I am thinking if none of my family want it, it might be great donation for a winter baby.
