I was excited to see that the March UFO draw number is 4! My #4 is my Sliced Snow Globe Quilt. This baby has been in the works since before 2002. I made it as part of a sliced quilt challenge with 5 other ladies around my state. We each came up with a picture to recreate, sketched out the pattern, sliced it up, and mailed off a section to each other. Basically, each quilter made her slice completely independent of the others. One lady didn't do her section for mine, and so years later I finally did it myself. I made the section with the boy on the sled and the bottom half of the far right slice. A lady named Beverly made the tops of the houses in that slice while I did the bottom of the houses all the way down.
Deciding how to finish off my circular beauty took several years of pondering. One day I came across these beautiful paper pieced houses and I was in love. They had to be my border. I tried to put the border on just the top and bottom of the quilt but didn't love it. I spent a good part of last year finishing all the houses and getting the top done to my satisfaction. Now it is time to quilt and bind this baby.
I am linking up with One Monthly Goal on this one. I will quilt and bind this one for March.

Gorgeous Quilt!
ReplyDeleteThat's so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI have loved watching this one come together. The house border is perfect for the center. It’s such a fun idea. I had thought of doing something similar with my bee group, but not sure that everyone would go for the technique.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty and unusual wintry quilt! You don't often see ones that have the winter scenes yet are not explicitly Christmasy. I like it a lot!
ReplyDeleteIt was so much fun watching you finish this one. I really love your blue background fabric. It matches perfectly. You also did a great job piecing all those houses.
ReplyDeleteSoooo in love with your quilt! Such a beauty, yes, time to finish and show it!
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful team work. This piece is unique. And so gorgeous. Have a beautiful weekend!
ReplyDeleteOooooo! Yes!!! How fantastic for this to be your March OMG. :D :D :D I was completely smitten when you had it out to do the missing portion, and loved the house work for the borders - but seeing it all together like this, it's AMAZING!!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely worth being your goal.
ReplyDeleteJust WOW! It's a gorgeous quilt. Love the little houses in the border. Good luck with your March OMG.
