I am absolutely thrilled with my finished top! I am calling it Flaky Friends. I started out with the hand stitched blocks but then it looked too small for a queen size bed so I took the one block that I had stitched to become a pillow & did another just like it & added to the second row then the rectangle I added to the third row to give more interest to the quilt & then started to add borders. I used my Accu Go Cutter to applque the flakes & the trees but is still seemed bland to me so I went with more is better instead of less is more lol! I think that adding more made the red just pop & I highlighted all the corners! I am so pleased with it & hope that I can figure out how to quilt it too?

If you look closely even the yellow fabric has snowflakes in it. I even have enough holly to make a label with.Now it fits a queen size bed too!

Wow! Loralye, this is stunning. I love anything with Christmas things. You've done a wonderful job putting this all together and I love the Snowflakes they look like they are popping off the quilt. Well done, you should show it at your local Craft Show. Love Chris

Love your version of flaky friends, do you haveto stitch around each snowflake once it is cut out and do you use basting spray to fix it to the quilt? Eagerly awaiting your answer...
