A finish - Frost

Oh wow, so it turns out I have four unblogged quilts for 2019, so I guess I'll post about them in quick succession! Coming up soon - Pencil Pusher, Helsinki Square Dance 2 and High Flying Birds!This though is Frost, made in April 2019, lets see what I can remember about this one... It's really two blocks, a strip pieced hourglass block alternated with an applique orange peel. The borders have additional applique to finish off the sharper shapes, which I love! I originally designed it to be in blues and whites since the shape was inspired by icicles, but the editors at Quilter's World wanted a more colourful look, and so you will find it in the Winter 2019 issue called Quilted Tiles. I just noticed now - in January 2020 - that I put the right most column on UPSIDE DOWN!!!! STATSSize –  72" squareNumber of blocks – 49Time to make – 15 hours ish?Fabric – Stuff from stash, though I think I needed more of the Tula Spirit Animal print (the dark green border) but otherwise there were a lot of mixed stash stuff from Cotton & Steel to BasicGrey to more Tula to Mister Domestic for AGF.Binding Fabric – A Makower Christmas print from stash (that's really not all that Christmassy)Backing - Not sure, something from Fabricland!Threads – IsacordBatting – 80/20 Hobbs Heirloom.Quilting- An all over FMQ spiral!
