    This is one I didn't think I'd ever finish. So much embroidery. I broke it into my own personal BOM, and then it went faster than I expected. Go figure. If you like, you can go to this link and vote for one of the two fabrics I'm auditioning for the binding. You'll find the poll at the top of my left sidebar.

    After it's quilted, I'm going to put hot fix crystals in among the embroidered snowflakes. I did that on another quilt last year, and it was very effective.

    Binding fabrics--the polka dot was used in the inner border. The blue batik is from my stash. Which do you like?

    Beautiful quilt. I have used crystals on snowflakes and love the sparkle.

    First - Absolutely stunning! Love the backing! Are you doing another border? I like the blue batik that is in the bottom right star.

    Super cute! I love the snowmen and snow flakes. I went to your blogspot to vote but on my iPad and it went to gibberish. I really like the Polk-a-dot like a play on snowflakes. And it's more playful than the others with those cute snowmen I think it would look the best.

    Very pretty, no opinion on the border fabrics.

    Beautiful! You show me there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm working on a similar quilt. I'm getting good at the running stitch.
    Beauifully done, I love your color choices.
    Enjoy.
    I can't wait to see the quilting you plan for it!
