Since the Rainbow Scrap Challenge is dark blue this month of July I decided to work on my Hoarfrost quilt and get it to a top. My stretch goal is to get it quilted and bound as well! This quilt is a pattern from Joanne Kerton at
Canuckquilter. I love Joanne's patterns - they are all so well written and I have been lucky to be able to test out a few of them over the years. This one was to be testing the pattern the beginning of 2016 when I just started working again and that modified my sewing time drastically.

I decided I really dislike paper piecing - which are those pretty snowflakes. My solution is to needle turn applique a version of the snowflake I pulled off a coloring page ages ago. So, this month I will make 3 of the snowflakes, sew the parts and pieces together and then piece and add the borders for a finished flimsy top! Wish me luck. Oh, and with feels like temps in the 100's in Florida I figured the snowflakes
might cool me down?
