A finish: Snow Day Pattern

 Good day, and welcome.

I have a finish to show off:  a pattern called Snow Day.  I blogged about the finished top HERE in early 2020.  So this is a UFO finish (Un-Finished Object).

The pattern is from The Big Book of Civil War Quilts:


The pattern is by Gayle Bong, and she set her blocks on point.


I used a straight set.  I also used reproduction fabrics more towards the late 1900's, not Civil War repros (yes there is a difference).  More blues, reds, claret, blacks, double pinks.

Here is mine.  Pardon the keystoning.


And a close up of the border:


I set the leftover border fabric aside in 2020, and so I had to search and dig to find it for the binding!  I like to bind my quilts in the same fabric as the outer border.  Quilted by a local long-armer, thin cotton batting.

Linking up with Midweek Makers, Wednesday Wait Loss, Needle and Thread Thursday, Put your Foot Down at the Quiltery, Can I get a Whoop Whoop, Nina-MarieFinished or Not at Alycia Quilts, Oh Scrap at Quilting is more Fun than Housework.

I have a page on Facebook: keep up with my infrequent quilt and stamp posts at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Viridian61/347674418583948?ref=hl
