    Default Old Snowmen Given A New Life

    These poor snowmen have been in a storage bin for years. The ultimate in UFO's...a panel that has been dragged out and put back every year over the last ten because I couldn't figure out what to do with it. At one time it was even in a garage sale for a short time with a price tag of $!. I sat and looked at it for a bit and put it back into my bin. Finally, I cut the panel up and used log cabin to put it back together. Almost too late for this year, but I can honestly say that I'm glad this one is now a finished project. Never give up!!

    That is a beautiful quilt! I love the way you quilted the snow at the bottom of the snowman blocks.

    I'm so glad you didn't give up on it, your creative juices were just waiting for the correct moment to inspire you to finish. It is just adorable and will make a great throw for the holiday season.

    I like what you did with it!
    I too have some panel fabric, that I once thought I would use as a backing.
    All the pictures are the same...a winter scene with people.
    Ho hum, if I don't get a great burst of creative thinking, perhaps it will become a backing.
    Wish the pictures were different from each other.
