Snowballs in Springtime...Only in Minnesota!

Finished this Gingersnap flimsy last week.  All of the fabric is by Kansas Troubles for Moda.  Also made a pillow cover to match with the left over squares. The sun sort of fades out the color, but you get the idea of what it looks like. Can't wait to load this on my new machine quilting frame, it's gonna be fun!

  9. Kim, your Gingersnap is so yummy! I bought this pattern earlier in the spring but have not yet decided on fabric. Did you use a certain collection? Looking forward to seeing the finished quilt.

  17. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I LOVE this quilt. It's perfect in every way. Yes-we're heartbroken over Tim's death. Some people are so personable you feel you know them, and he was one of those people. He'll be so, so missed.
