Snowman in the Cabin Blocks Done!





My 9 Snowman in the Cabin Blocks Done!

I have enough blocks now for the wall hanging that I have planned.


These smiling faces were waiting for me when I got up today.

Last night I did the hand sewing of the button eyes and details.

Sewing the embellishments on before finishing the piecing does mean extra care while sewing and pressing, 



but I enjoyed seeing that cute snowmen faces while I worked.


I lined up my blocks and sewed one round at a time.


I trim and square my blocks after each round.


I find this keeps my blocks looking square and to size.

Here are my last nine blocks:



Block 4



Block 5



Block 6



Block 7



Block 8



Block 9

I had a lot of fun making these blocks!



I am going to study the placement and layout on my design wall for a day or two
to see if I want to add sashing and to decide on my outer border fabric.

Hope to be quilting it by the weekend.

    Sew cute. I want to do but I HAVE to finish up at least a few of my current projects before starting anything else no matter how cute.
