The Snowmen are Made!

Inspired by a student bulletin board...

I created these this weekend:
 I just couldn't resist following through on this inspiration.
I machine appliqued the snowman and will hand stitch the scarves, noses and eyes this week as we watch TV in the evenings. Then I'll add the arms and sash them together.
Each block is 9"x12".
Any ideas for the sashing??
This one is going to be fun to quilt...I can't wait!

  11. Oh! These are so cute! I love them. I taught K/1 and it makes me think of my favorite thing which was creating the art projects with the kids for each month's theme. These are so fun! Can't wait to see them with the rest of their parts. K- lkw2x6-apq@yahoo.com

  13. Well that was fast!!! They are so cute, and the kids will be thrilled that their work was your inspiration. I'm thinking green--because that is kind of like the green on the bulletin board. Or if you have a darker blue with snowflake print that would be fun, too.
