Winter Mittens

I am happy to share a quilt that is all mine!  This quilt came together a part of a Queen Bee block swap I participated in last year.   Every month one member of the group would select a block pattern and the other participants would make two blocks and pop them in the mail.  I selected this free Winter Mittens pattern from Sew Fresh quilts and sent everyone a piece of my background fabric.

Here are some close up photos of all the cool blocks I received.

I selected the Snow Winds pantograph as it just seemed fitting.

And I finally found the perfect opportunity to use this interesting piece of wide backing fabric that had been sitting on my shelf for awhile.  I think it fit in perfectly.
