A Walk In The Woods

This quilt was made for a customer. I'm a big fan of Aneela Hoey, so I enjoyed making this quilt.
 She originally wanted a Christmas quilt with Christmas fabrics. When she saw this pattern and fabric, she loved them both so we went with it! She told me to choose a binding and backing print. I chose red binding and pink with bows since it was for Christmas.

I love how it turned out. Even though it's not Christmas prints, it still has a Christmas feel!
We had a lot more snow than what we normally get here in this part of NM, so I had to get a few pictures that had some snow in them :)


Since I used A Walk In The Woods fabric (by Aneela Hoey for Moda, for anyone that may be unfamiliar) I thought some tree pictures seemed suitable as well. I didn't have a lot of time for the perfect setting, so the nearest tree it was!
I just don't think you can really go wrong with the Disappearing Nine Patch pattern, they just come together so great! I hope she will love it as much as I do :) The finished size is 36 x 40 1/2. I'm posting from Arizona, and I have grand kids to get back to! Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving!

Linking up to Crazy Mom Quilts for Finish It Up Friday

UPDATE: They sent me a picture, they gave her a sneak peak. I had to share (with permission)! So cute seeing her look at the foxes and the girl :)

    I am sure this quilt will get a lot of use. I like the simple quilting you did. I seriously need to find some cute fox fabric, for my son's teacher Mrs. Fox.

    Adorable! I made a very similar quilt, so of course I'm biased! :) (And how cute are those chubby baby arms?!)
