Sweet Christmas snowman kit done

Here's some confetti trimmed from my half rectangles.

Here are some of my 300 plus triangle units.

The kit came with 2 bloc-loc rulers to trim these units up perfectly. 

My design wall layout.

Here's a shot of all the triangles sewn together and the Snowman panel fused to the background. Then I used black thread to sew around the panel and finally trimmed away the fabric from behind the snowman so most of the background wouldn't show through the snowman.

Work in progress. Lots of work to crop out the facial features. I put snowflakes in the cheeks. I quilted the background first with a snowflake swirl that you can't really see because the background is so busy. Then I went back and customized the snowman.

Here is the completed quilt before binding.

 The binding came in the kit and I completed the quilt with the binding in 18 days!!

The custom quilting took me the longest.

I love how his hat turned out. I figure out something new with every quilt I sew. I had to figure out how to quilt the hat because it was too big to fit on the machine bed.

Here's his cute face.

Ear muff and scarf. I free motioned the scarf.

I love the sweater look of this design on the mitten.

Squiggle on the scarf.

The back. The snowflakes were rather small. They don't show up very well.
