This has been a work in progress for the last 9 months. Lisa Bonegan of "Primitive Gatherings" offered this snowman wall hanging as a block of the month that she designed and we even used fabric that she designed for it.
I surprised myself by keeping up with the snowman blocks each month....In the past I'd sign up for a block of the month and then I'd drop the ball on it. MAYBE, just MAYBE my plan to only do 1 or 2 a year helped me stay focused? MAYBE doing this with one of my BFF's Michelle and not wanting to fall behind her kept me focused? or lastly, MAYBE the fact that I LOVED the project and didn't impulse jump into signing up? Whatever the reason, I'm happy that I kept up and it's now coming to an end.
Here's the 8 blocks I had finished as of Sunday night
and even had the sashing and cornerstones attached.
I did get the last snowman fused early this week and I'm almost done with him.
I'm hoping to have this one finished and out to Michelle for quilting over the next week but depending on her schedule (with the holidays etc) we'll see if it's up on my wall this winter or next. However it works out, I'm THRILLED to have it almost done and not a project just sitting in a bin waiting to be worked on like SOOOOOOO many others.

Neat Peg, I admire your determination, especially since I can't remember the last time I committed and signed up for any project! Lol This will be wonderful on your wall.
Your snowmen are beautiful! And, congrats on keeping up with the month's shipments! Yes, I also have learned to sign on for only the projects that I truly love... it sure does make it easier and more enjoyable!
I love this snowman quilt!
