I’m not great at machine quilting but I’ve definitely gotten better than my first few tries!  And only having to do 9 of these snow flake patterns is very doable.  I’ll do some swirly/snowy type continuous pattern in the border when I’m done with the main blocks.  This is a stencil that I’m tracing using a washable pencil.

It takes a bit of turning the quilt to make this single pattern, luckily the quilt is wall size, not bed size so I just start with the “hardest” side of each snow flake (with the most fabric folded) and move it around to the easier sides as I go along.  I figure I can do a block a night next week and get this done by next weekend!
