The quilt I decided to show is called Here's Comes Frosty...it is one of the first quilts I made and definitely the first and only one that I have ever hand quilted! It was made in 1998. I don't know the name of the designer, but the pattern sure was the cutest...and I was 'in love' with the 'homespuns' and scrappy look...also have always been a 'scenic' person...so here is my offering...
The size of the quilt is approximately 54" x 72".
Here's Frosty melting in front of the stove...there is a winter scene in the window.
A little dog came to travel with Frosty.
Here's a little angel snowman...
I didn't know WHAT I was doing...but I had the cutest piece of fabric that I wanted to use for the backing but it was too small, so I added a border...I so remember 'stressing' over getting it centered.
