Hello Quilty Friends! I finished this quilt on December 15th but I haven't had time to take pictures and write a blog post.
In an earlier blog post I mentioned how I searched high and low for the quilt pattern because I didn't want to waste time doing quilty math. But I came up with nothing so I did the quilty math. On the last of quilting this monster, I took a break, went to Pinterest to search for cookie recipes and what popped up on my home feed? Yep this quilt! The designer is Stash Bandit. It was designed for Quilt Maker Magazine several years ago. Funny thing... I named my quilt Frosty's Forest, made the label, attached it to the backing before I quilted the quilt. Then after it's quilted, I find out she named her quilt Frosted Forest!
I'm not sure if my quilt is exactly like her quilt but it's pretty darn close. My quilt has an on-point setting and finishes at about 94 x 97.
Frosty Forest is beautiful! I bet she felt good to sleep under also. Happy stitching in 2024!
ReplyDeleteI just love this quilt!! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI just found your fabric on line at Joann Fabrics. And it's on sale! https://www.joann.com/susan-winget-green-plaid-christmas-cotton-fabric/17329194.html
ReplyDeleteAwe thank you for looking. I don't buy from Joann's online. They are really bad about sending several cuts to make the yardage requested.
DeleteA very pretty quilt, and of course you'd find a pattern after you have done the math and finished the quilt - it's like a Murphy's Law, right?!
ReplyDeleteAs always, your creations are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful 'Forest' quilt -- so Christmas-y! PattiK
ReplyDeleteI did a quilt similar to yours YEARS ago when I did a quilt cruise. Edyta was one of the teachers and that was what she taught. I didn't think I'd ever finish it but Edyta encouraged everyone to finish as she would choose one finished to quilt herself. I got it done but I wasn't the chosen recipient of Edyta's quilting but it did get done and I love it. Love your colors AND the backing. Now I'm gonna hafta run down to Joann's tomorrow to see if they might still have some..HA!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful and I am happy that you got it done before Christmas! Kaye Mattson
