Winter's Walk Quilt-Along — Day 8

 It's Day 8 of the Winter's Walk Quilt-Along and today we'll begin assembling our quilts.

Finally, all of the work you've done making blocks over the past couple of weeks is going to pay off, and you'll begin to see what your finished quilt will look like!

Day 8:  Quilt Center Assembly

Here's the link for today's pattern sheet.

Today's instructions are pretty self-explanatory — no tips or techniques required.  Instead I'm going to give you a peek at my Winter's Walk variation.

I'm taking all of the blocks from the original project and assembling them into pillows!  Here's the first pillow top made with the tree block, star block, 4 Pinwheel blocks, and 2 Shoo Fly blocks, surrounded by a Flying Geese border.

I'm amazed by how much fabric selection can change the feel of a project.  The chambray and plaids that I'm using on my variation give it a casual, primitive look that I love — so cozy!

Have fun assembling your quilt centers and I'll see you back here Friday for more assembly and my second pillow top.  Can't wait to see how it turns out!

Happy Quilting!
