I seem to be doing seasonal quilts at the moment :-)
I have not put the binding on this yet....you all know how I hate to bind edges!.....but it came back from the quilter looking just beautiful! I asked for a snowflake design, and Avery did a wonderful job! If you look at my sidebar and the "orange" quilt.....this is the same basic pattern. I guess I could call them "hot and cold".
Small snowflakes in the border...
...large snowflakes on the blue and white areas. This is a gift for a nephew and niece. Their wedding theme was blue and white and snowflakes last December. Just a large lap quilt to snuggle under.
And....looking back at Fall.....a maple leaf quilt! I made a maple leaf quilt many years ago...one of my first quilts. I look at it now and wonder why I chose the fabrics! I just looked it up and I made it in 2002, so this is 10 years later and my taste has changed a lot in fabrics! So I thought I would do an updated version in batiks...my favorites!
Some of the leaves up-close. I just love batik fabrics and how they look! I'm trying to make myself cut them up and use them......I have a tendency to hoard them because they are so beautiful and I don't want to cut them up. Must break that habit! Maybe this is a new beginning for me in using my batiks! Now to get some backing fabric and get it to a quilter. I want a warm cozy flannel on the back.

I thought the snowflake quilting was a wonderful idea...LOVE that quilt. If we lived closer, I would do the binding for you. I love sitting and doing them while I watch TV.
And love the maple leaves...would like to see your first one, too.
Utterly spectacular, Mary! I just fell in love with your Nature Quilt some time back, but had no idea you were such a busy bee! WHAT creativity and colour to cheer up a dreary sleety afternoon!
P.S. If it's going to snow, I wish it would snow properly!
Thanks, Rose. It would be nice if we could work on a quilt together sometime.
Caroline, Thank you! I love working with beautiful fabrics. I'm hoping to do more nature things eventually. I hope we don't get any more snow. Once a winter is enough for me!
