    Some day I would love to learn the method you used for the snowflakes!

    BEAUTIFUL! You're very talented!!! I OTOH couldn't even make polar fleece socks for my kids today! They're now dog toys LOL! Thanks for sharing!!!

    It's amazing! How are you now going to put them together? You have tons of patience… gorgeous!

    Hi Leah! These up-close shots really show off your skill and accuracy. You must be really pleased with how your free motion technique is so precise yet creative! thats a hard balance! I'm still dying to know how the binding will bind in both sides of two squares to hide the edges… I'm totally baffled by this!
    Thanks! WendyB @ http://www.ThatSeamsFun.com

    Leah, this is fantastic but how, if the blocks are already quilted are you putting them together. Is it, well, 'quilt as you go' format and if so what is your method of joining each of the blocks or block sets?

  7. Sarah says:

    That is absolutely inspirational! It makes me want to have another go at quilting something apart from straight lines 🙂

    This quilt is beautiful, I wish it were my own design! I'm rather obsessed with snowflakes! My reader showed both this and the previous post together, so I'll comment together. I agree about the rotation of the centre block, and the wavy 'sashing'. I also agree about the muting from the organza – as much as I like the trapunto effect and the way you quilted it, somehow it's not quite as stiking to me as the blocks were without the organza, on the black-black background. That said, without seeing those, I'd never know! Do you plan to do wavy sashing on the back – and how are you going to get the front and back aligned if you do???

    I got a chill down my spine just looking at these delightful snowflakes! Absolutely beautiful. And yes, these are great for a quilt show. I do hope you'll submit this quilt (or similar) in a quilt show (e.g. IQF?). Love it!

    Inspirational. Thanks for sharing.

    I can also visualize a scene with your snowflakes and a scene, below, with your delightful quilting!
