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!27502846875_24b331268f_oIt'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!27468346716_8fc4aba82f_o27468348926_40a0def58c_oI 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...quiltnow2 quiltnow3 quiltnowcoverSTATSSize – 36" x 50"Number of blocks – 15 snakesTime to make – About 12 hours with the quiltingFabric – Green scraps plus a print from Tula Pink's Chipper in the spacer blocks and Kona Natural.Backing Fabric – £2 a yard green linen slub from Fabric Guild in the UK.Binding Fabric – Alexia Abegg Hatbox for Cotton + SteelThreads – Piecing with Aurifil 50 wt.
