What a week! Every spare minute was spent at the machine. Early mornings, late evenings, during lunch breaks and into the wee hours of the morning... all to complete this quilt from start to finish in just one week !
Every time I close my eyes now I see snowflake parts.
This is for week two of Project Quilting 7.
The theme this week was "Seasons"
I opted to do one season.
Autumn is my favorite season, but I was in the mood for something wintry, and wanted to work in blues. While perusing the internet for inspiration ideas, I came across this pattern from Quilter Maker Magazine and knew I wanted to have one of my very own.
I couldn't resit making the whole quilt.
I was originally going to make one snowflake and make a table topper,
but I just kept piecing snowflakes like a mad woman!

This beauty measures 67 x 77.
I am in love with it.
I'm definitely going to go smaller next week. It was a huge challenge to get this one done in a week. And I missed being able to stop and stare and take in the progress as I went. There just wasn't time for staring. If that sewing machine wasn't humming along I was getting behind.
When I first started quilting years ago I wanted to have a finished product ASAP! but now I notice I spend more time stopping and admiring the project as it develops. I really do enjoy the whole quilting process from start to finish.
