Hot Chocolate BOM
 

I have had this quilt as a UFO in my closet for about 5 years. I have been working straight on this for about a month to finish it up. Well I have the top done anyway. I haven't quilted it yet because I honestly don't know what to do with it. I am debating on sending it to a long arm but I would need custom quilting and that tends to be costly. My free motion is not the best. All I have is a small cheapy brother machine. Its fine for the most part for all over patterns but I worked very hard on this quilt and I don't think it would do it justice.

Very cute.

Love that pattern, super cute. I have a UFO of one similar, need to get it out and start on it again.

WOW - and welcome to the QB!!!!!

Just adorable, great job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day

Beautiful UFO!

First of all, welcome to the board. Secondly, what an adorable quilt! I love snowmen anyway & this top is too, too cute! I wish I had some suggestions for quilting but I don't. Maybe just echo the appliques? Or go with an all-over snowflake pattern? Whatever you decide on, please post it again when it's all done!

I love it!

I love it! Snowpeople are my very favourite. A job well done.

Very cute! I love the winter wall quilts.

This is a wonderful quilt! Makes me smile. You did a great job.

Very nice. Welcome to the QB

I love your quilt. If it was my own quilt I would take it to my favourite longarmer and ask what the cost would be for custom quilting. It is not a huge quilt so you may be pleasantly surprised at the price. Whatever you decide please let us see it again when it is done. Thank you for sharing.

Very cute quilt!!!

You've got stitching within each block that shows. What about simply stitching in the ditch for all sashing and borders?

Your quilt is just adorable! I agree with burchquilts...echo much of it. I'm of the opinion that less is more when it comes to quilting and don't like to see quilts where the design gets lost in the quilting

That is so nice and festive. I love it.

Nice quilt.......

Very Beautiful!! You can outline the applique about 1/4" from your stitching and do some echoing in the backgrounds. Quilt some stars in the sky. Practice first on sample blocks with your DSM. As long as you have a FMQ/darning foot and feed dogs you can do it. In the early days of quilting for me I couldn't lower the feed dogs and just FMQ without putting them down and it worked fine. Good Luck.

What a lovely quilt.
I love it. I would go with the outline quilting around the applique.
Thanks for sharing...

Welcome from Northern California. Love Snowmen and this is one of the cutest I have seen. Looks like you put a lot of time and effort into this panel. Whatever you do be sure to show us again when you have it finished. BrendaK

Beautiful quilt. Good luck on what you choose for quilting.

That's an adorable quilt!!

I am fairly new at this, but I see shadow quilting around all the appliqued items if that is close enough for your batting. Your quilt top is adorable and I would think that the shadowing and nothing more would hi-lite your beautiful work.

Love it! Great job!

very cute!!!

Great job! I love snowpeople!!

I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!

very very cute

This is so adorable! I just love snowmen!!

Great quilt. I love it.

What a cute quilt! Thanks for sharing.

fantastic work on all your Snow--people and quilt is very cute

A beautiful quilt. I liked the idea of snow flakes.

It is adorable, beautifully done, and deserves a custom job. Go for it.

it is wonderful...glad you finished it...perhaps you can see if anyone is willing to trade with you...you can piece a top for them and they can long arm it for you...

OH!! Nice job! I don't have a clue as to how to quilt it. But, I'm sure you will do alright. Maybe if you echo quilt around the figures. I think that would work.

Smellovision, I read the title and I swear I could smell chocolate! What a wonderful way to start the day! Cute cute quilt!
