I started with one of the quilt layout settings from the sashing catagory; Sashed Blocks 12. There are unaltered Contrary Wife blocks in the four largeblocks at the center of the quilt. I drew a 1/4 version of Contrary Wife tht sit in the four outer quadrants. The sashing if Opposing Geese 6 and square in a square corner stones.
The more I played with the layout and colorings, the more I saw frost fracing along a winter cold window.
One of my very favorite things to do when designing quilts is make the blocks blend into one another, so you really have to take a second look to figure out where each block starts and stops. My biggest challenge this month was picking two two quilts to send in!

Good one, Jo! I like the way the straight lines look curved in places. I’d love to see this design in bright colors and without patch and block outlines.
