A Finish - S is for Snake
I don't think I could really show this before, but now it is in print, this is my S is for Snake quilt!It's just baby quilt size and it's in the current issue (27) of Quilt Now. It's another quilt I put together using the Scan N Cut to cut out my Drunkard's Path blocks. I really don't like cutting these out and it saved me a lot of time!I quilted bubbles around the snakes and I used my walking foot to sew ladders in the spacer blocks. I also free motioned matchsticks either side of the ladders.Here it is in the magazine...
