Signature Quilt -Winter Snowman's Delight

This is a signature quilt that was done in Backroad quilters.

We chose our block and everyone who was in the swap made one for us in their choice of color. Each one is signed.

 and was in the Tacoma Quilt show held last month.

 This was a chapter challenge. We chose a season by lot from a brown bag. Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring.
