i know…i know…we are back to Christmas…
i really couldn’t wait though…we’ve got lots going on and i didn’t want this frosty favorite to get lost in the shuffle…so i thought i’d pop in and introduce Frosted…
Frosted features Noel by Clare Therese Gray, and, simply, we L O V E it! when this collection arrived, we knew we needed something sweet, yet classic…nothing too plain but then we didn’t want to lose the “sugar cookie with icing” look it has. The collection is described as “sweet and sprightly” and i think that is spot on! The prints are both classic Christmas yet updated…Christmas trees, angels, stockings, and snowflakes in a palette of icy blue, a nearly-hot pink, soft pink, pine green, and winter white.
Mom chose to whip up some simple 9-patches…but when you pair it with skinny sashing and cornerstones…it takes on a whole new look…it transforms as if by magic into a different quilt. I love it!!
Frosted measures 89 x 99 inches and is absolutely lovely.
i really like how the quilting turned out…who would have thought that simple horizonal lines could add so much!
we’ve kitted it for you…here.
