Winter Wonderland Quilt!

Winter Wonderland 
Quilt
When I saw this pattern I immediately thought of my son because he attends West Virginia University.  This the campus on a lovely day BUT  this is what West Virginia in winter looks like and as it turns out, this is the last thing he wants to see in his quilt!  I asked him to be honest with me, no hard feelings - and it makes perfect sense that the boy is tired of very hard winters.
It's a good thing I fell in love with it!  It's hanging in my living room with matching pillows made from the left over fabric

and like colors in the dining room (I live in a cottage, so one space is near another!)
I love the lacy, frosty look of this hurricane candle holder - there is a large white candle inside and two grey taper's in my favorite silver candle holders
from my great grandmother, hmm, need a polish!  My mothers favorite vase sits near the door and I swap out "flowers" seasonally too
I found these beautiful birch branches at Crate and Barrel 
It was a bit of a splurge but I wasn't finding them when I walked my dog through the woods I wasn't finding any on my own - I tried!  My splurge a previous winter were these candles I light above the fireplace
Winter has hit the east coast and my living room!  The name of the quilt is Cabin in the Woods
It's made with all batik fabrics - and I had to keep track of the differences with the help of baggies
because the colors were all so similar of whites and grey's.  It's only fabric, I can reuse the bags later!

 Winter is out here and winter is in here!
