T Carter -- Walking in a Winter Wonderland -- a Traditional and original design.

This is a challenge quilt for the True Blue Challenge, 41st Annual Quilters Unlimited Quilt Show, 2014.
“Walking in a Winter Wonderland evokes memories of cold and snowy winters on the Minnesota prairie. My mama and I collected the fabric on a road trip last spring. On our journey, we stopped at numerous fabulous quilt shops in Wisconsin and Minnesota. In “True Blue” spirit, I selected all blue fabrics for the top, including the very light blue setting pieces. The back is white—white on white snowflakes and white on white frost.”
