What a great name- the snow sort of being the "opposite" of the Hawaiian print. And it's so pretty! I love it.

I always say I want to make one of these but have never started. Do they have set-in seams?

This is beautiful! I love it! The Ks are like snowflakes. These are my latest 'big thing' I've nearly finished piecing my second. Do you do the same as me? Piece the hexs in halves then join them in rows? So no set in seams, Lisa! :D

Oh my goodness! Thank you all for the nice comments! No set in seams, they go together in rows of half hexagons. Really easier than it looks. Maybe this pic will show it a little better.

Yup that's how I do it - fun isn't it? Jenell I just posted a barrage of questions on your 'Introduce Yourself' topic!

And here is the fabric I started out with. It's not the same as the borders.

That is a beautiful fabric! See, I would never have thought of using that with just two colours but it works beautifully - and I LOVE blue and white anyway! Thanks so much for posting the pic!

That is a beautiful quilt - good job! I have wondered how well a 2-color fabric would work in a OBW, and obviously it works very well.
