QUILTED WINTER RUNNER


I finally got back to my Winter runner project after making some gifts for my daughter. To finish this, I used the 'envelope' method and then quilted it using straight lines on the larger border; a square in each tree block; and for the house I did 'x's in the windows and door, scallops on the roof, 'smoke' coming out of the chimneys and a cloud.  I love how it came out and can't wait to finish the quilt (the back is done...have to cut the batting and then, hopefully, quilt it....I decided to do it myself, rather than send it out....so please wish me luck!). First, however, I will finish a smaller project I started yesterday...which will give me some quilting practice.
