Jan. OMG: Winter Wallhanging Finish

My January OMG was to get these finished into a wallhanging that would be completed and
hanging in our home by the end of the month. 

Ta Da! With two days to spare, I got 'er done. 

Knowing this was my "One Monthly Goal" motivated me to get this one done. I used a variety of random quilting on this one as I didn't want the quilting to be too dense and well, quite honestly, I wasn't in the mood to quilt this weekend. So I  kept things simple as I echoed around the mittens and the hearts and quilted small snowflakes on the two snowman blocks.

I didn't want to use a pantograph, yet wanted the effect that it was snowing.
So, I randomly quilted nine larger snowflakes throughout the quilt. 

I know there's a ton of different ways I could have really enhanced this quilt if I had taken the time to quilt it, but honestly, sometimes it's just nice to get it done. So, if you ever find yourself in "the neighborhood" know you'll find yourself cozy right here were it now hangs in our guest room:
Grateful for the motivation our monthly linky gave me this month.

  2. With the horrible winter you've had, I'd think maybe you rather have a summer wall hanging up. Seriously, though, it's really cute! I love the tipsy tree. And buttons! Swoon!

  18. Got 'er done and so much fun! You can always quilt it more later if you are so inclined (told myself that for two quilts, hasn't happened yet!) Between the wallhanging and the quilt on the bed, that room looks cozy. Also great to see that the guest room's personal concierge is Jackson! That's a warm welcome if ever there as one!
