Road Home Snuggler

With all of the snow we have been having lately, it seems only appropriate that I have been working on another Road Home Snuggler quilt since I have been doing a lot of snuggling in at home to stay out of the cold :)


This Road Home Snuggler is a special quilt for a special friend who lives in a log cabin ;)  It will match just perfect and will be so much fun for her to snuggle up in now ;)  Don't you just love all of the fun movement from the random placement.   It reminds me of those old bathroom school tiles where you are trying so hard to find a pattern only to find that it is truly random.


I made the Original Road Home Snuggler in Wool and Needle Flannels 2 and I made this Road Home Snuggler in Wool and Needle Flannels 3.  I just love how soft and cozy the flannel is.  Sadly, it was snowing like crazy when I finished and I needed to get it off in the mail so it was an indoor picture shoot.  The lighting just doesn't do these beautiful rich colors justice.


When it came time to quilt, I decided to go with arches to make a fun orange peel design.  I love how it adds to the geometric fun of the quilt and the quilting is nice and light so it doesn't take away from the soft snuggly purpose of the quilt.


The Road Home Snuggler  uses 1 layer cake that doesn't even need to be subcut.   So it really sews together nice and fast.   I was so excited when it was done, that I decided to also grab a charm pack as well and make some matching pillows to go with it.   A charm pack makes up 2 couch pillows and 1 lumbar pillow.  I just love how fun and cute they are all together.


And that is my new Road Home Snuggler!!   If you have a special friend that needs a Road Home Snuggler quilt too, you can find the step by step free tutorial right here ;)  And if you make one I would love to see it ;)  You can email me a picture to happyquiltingmelissa@gmail.com.  There is just nothing quite like snuggling up in quilty goodness.


Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a very Happy Quilting Weekend ;)

Linking up this finish to Amanda's and Sarah's ;)
