Postcard Cuties for Winter

rae3

This is Rae’s Postcard Cuties for Winter quilt and it is a Bunny Hill Designs.  This is a small wall hanging, only 36” x38” and is full of cute little appliqued wool snowmen.  Rae hand appliqued the whole quilt with a button hole stitch including the scalloped edges in the border!

I knew right away I was going to put a feather motif in the blue scalloped border design and straight lines in the outer border for a nice contrast.  All the blocks are stitched in the ditch as well as around all the applique.  To keep this quilt whimsical and folksy I did different background fills in the snowmen blocks.

The details are hard to see in the outdoor shots so I took a lot of close up pictures inside.
