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.

Snow Day now a top

My project I described in my last post is now a top!  I have more information on my source for the pattern.
It's from a book called Big Book of Civil War Quilts  published by Martingale.  It is a pattern called Snow Day by Gayle Bong.   She set her blocks on point; I am setting them straight with a gray mourning print fabric.  I added a narrow red border to brighten up the top and a wider border of black fabric with a small neat pattern.

Here is a close up of a corner, showing the border fabric:

I think I will take this to a local long arm quilter for quilting.  I still have quite a bit of the border fabric for straight grain binding.
