Frosty Times Four is my answer to the Table Scraps assignment for the Island Batik Ambassadors this month. Find this quick and easy pattern on my Crafty account here. These deep saturated colors of Mountain's Majesty were provided to me by Island Batik. Aren't they just soooo pretty together. Since the assignment was scrappy--I decided to make each block in the runner a different color. This worked out very easy by choosing 2 strips from each of 4 colors in the strip pack. I am sure you have heard of chain piecing---but how about chain cutting??? I stacked my strips on the cutting mat. Then with only 4 passes with the rotary--all 64 pieces were cut out--Chain Cutting!! Works great!! Then for some chain piecing!!! I just love a good fabric closeup, don't you?!? And how about that awesome cloud reflection on my sewing table insert?!?! Just love the majesty of the Lord!!! Then there is the reality of those pretty closeup photos. Stacks of fabric needing to be turned into quilts, quilts hanging over the long arm frame needing to be quilted, piles of papers needing to be written into patterns!!! The real snapshot of my life! And the occasional needing to unsew a seam or two!!! 487 Superior Threads So Fine! was just the right color for quilting. I quilted it with a free hand allover windy swirl. Just a nice generic background design. All ready for Christmas!! Our cute little 4 year old evergreen trees don't provide much wind protection yet--but they sure are great photo props!! We don't have any snow yet--that is supposed to be coming on Thursday!! Thanks again to Island Batik for this great assignment.
