White Snow and A Red Quilt

Combine some fresh snow,
a new year

and a red and white quilt 

and it made a great day to 

take some photos.

This ocean wave quilt 

had been my leader and enders project

starting in January, 2012.

And this fall I had decided I had had enough.

75" x 75"

It was time to stop making half square triangles

and sew all the pieces together.

I had my friend, Kathy, do the machine quilting for me.

I decided on an overall feathered pattern.

I thought it needed some curved lines

to soften all those angles.

The quilt is made up of hundreds of different reds and white fabrics

all sewn together 

while I sewed on lots of other projects.

This toile by Jo Morton

 made the perfect backing 

along with a variety of leftover strips for the binding.

I think this was the perfect way to end 2015,
and start 2016

 don't you?

With lots of quilts finished this past year

it leaves the door wide open for new things!

I'm ready for 2016.

 Until Next Time-
