Snapshots quilt

I finally have a quilt to share with you! I used Suzanne’s Meandering Magic with curls. This was my first attempt at doing this. I found it really hard to do a large meandering so I used the CD’s as guides.

I chalked the border design.

Snapshots - border added

I have the border added to the Snapshots quilt top. I ended up using a Hoffman Batik fabric, 1895 - Garnet.

Snapshots top complete?

I thought I had the Snapshots top pieced. I measured it and it is 46 X 63. What!? I don't think that is big enough for a QOV. I got the book out and read the instructions again. Yes it says it is 5 blocks by 7 and my blocks are 9" and it is suppose to finish at 57 X75. So where did I go wrong. Oh, I see now I still need to add the borders. Looks like a shopping trip is my near future. What color should I use for the border? Solid? Or a print?

Next on the design wall

I have Snaphots blocks ready to put on the design wall now. The blocks really are red, white, blue and gold. I will work on a better picture for the finished top.

I quilted two Quilts of Valor quilts this past week. Do you have a quilt top that you would like to donate to Quilts of Valor? Contact me about turning your quilt top into a Quilt of Valor.
