Quilters Name: Dolly Templeton

Category: Hand Quilted

Style: Appliqued Snowman Quilt

Size: XL Queen

Year Made: 2020

About: The snowman patches are “Block of the Month” packets that were made by a friend of mine, Sally Farabaugh. She passed away in 2016 with cancer and her husband gave the blocks to me. I looked online for ideas on how to put them together for a quilt for several years and finally came up with a picture of how they were to be finished. I cut 350 2 1/2″ blocks out of scraps that I had around in my stash to make the border around each block and the outline border. Then I purchased fabrics for the other 5 borders. Another quilting friend suggested the snowflakes cut out of her Go Cutter would add to the quilt, so I added them to the dark green border and the pillow area. I finished the quilt just in time for the first snowfall in December. Perfect for cold winter nights!

Style: Crumb Quilting with shadow effect

Size: 48″ Square

Year Made: 2020
