A Winter Quilt

On this "Family Day" holiday,  I am sewing my latest scrap quilt.

quilt as you go assembly

I started it a while ago. I made it to show as an example during a scrap class I taught last November. It is a variation of the pattern I was teaching.

Heart fabrics for February's Valentines,
a bit of a Paris fabric since I was there in December,
some yellow for the sun I miss so,
fabric printed with words for all the emails
 I write to my Italian friends while I am here in Toronto,
a Christmas fabric.
Panels hanging on my design wall.
Even though the fabric reads as white,
there are so many colours!

Anyway, this quilt is about the snowy days of winter.

This is the binding fabric I bought.
It works nicely with the back blues.
The 1/2 inch that will show on the front
will add a gentle punch.

I did embroider a few cypress trees ....from Italy.


I should be done at the end of the week so I will post again to show you the finished product. I like this quilt.
