Snowy Pines: A Finished Quilt

I named this quilt, "Snowy Pines"  due to the green triangles and snowflakes printed on the cream background.

 I cut the triangles out from 6.5 inch strips with the Creative Grids triangle ruler.  Then I put them up on my design wall.

My husband saw the quilt and fell in love with it.  He asked me, "What are you going to put on the back?"

I said that I had enough of one of the greens for the backing.  He then asked me, "Are you sure you don't want minky."

I told him that it would be good to use what I had.  Then I started piecing the triangles together.

He said, "It looks really good.  Are you sure you don't want to put minky on the back?"

It finally clicked and I asked him, "Do you want minky on the back of the quilt."

He answered, "Yeah.  If you put minky on the back then I will commandeer it."

Needless to say that I bought minky to put on the back for my sweet, supportive, husband.  He definitely deserves another quilt with minky backing.

I quilted it on the Bernina Q24 with hooked spirals.  It is still one of my favorite designs.

It reminds me a little of wind and is great for a masculine quilt.

The backing really is a cream minky.

The binding is the same green that would have been the backing.

My husband and I both love how this quilt turned out.

I thought it looked really neat with the sun shining through the quilt.

When it is not in use, the quilt lives on the reclining chair in our bedroom.

However, I may have to borrow it for the family room for the month of March.  It was originally going to be my green throw quilt.  ;)
