Re: Olaf/Snowman Quilt

For those wanting a copy of the pattern: I opened a new document in my Word program. Then I went to the pattern and right clicked at the top of the pattern and scrolled the length of the pattern while still holding the right click button down. Then I right clicked on an area that was highlighted, right clicked again and clicked on COPY. Went over to the new document in Word and right clicked again and clicked on PASTE. The pattern showed up and I tweaked it by changing the font size and margins. Made many of the photos smaller and deleted one or two that were repetitive or not needed. This changed the number of pages from 17 to 8. Hope this is helpful.

Takes a little work but this is the only way I know how to copy the pattern. Hopefully this helps those that want to give it a try.

Re: Olaf/Snowman Quilt

I did do some things differently, my husband and I drew all the extras onto paper, I roughly cut them out and then pinned them to fabric that had fusible webbing already ironed to the wrong side (for the eyes and arms, I doubled the layers) then I cut the pieces out on the line. For the body I pieced the 2.5" squares and then used glue basting to hold down my 1/4 inch seam allowance, I also made sure to cut off any excess fabric around the head and body curves to 1/4". I then pinned the body where I wanted it and began ironing down all the fused pieces. All pieces were done with a tight zig zag stitch and also outlined when I quilted it oh and also I preferred the strips in the background to all be balanced so if anyone wants the strip sizes needed let me know

Lorie - you have to watch it! It is really a cute movie and the music is wonderful. You will forever more have the song "Let It Go" stuck in your head!! Or maybe it is in mine because my granddaughters sing it constantly...

Thank you! I really wanted it too look like a swirly windy effect! I also quilted in some words by the flower, sort of can make it out in the label photo. It simply says "i love u" - just had so much fun trying different techniques!!
