A frosty wreath

This is my paper pieced Mona Lisa!!  Again, my poor camera doesn't do the fabric justice as they are all Fairy Frosts.  Unfortunately I can't remember who the pattern is by.  I know I still have a copy of the pattern buried somewhere in the sewing room.

Anyway, this was definitely a labor of love.  It has 20 flower blocks in it and each one has many seams.  I believe at one point I thought it was going to be the never ending quilt.  As you can tell, I haven't gotten around to the actual quilting part.  I'm scared to death to quilt it!  Isn't that just silly??  It's so pretty I'm afraid I'm going to mess it up - LOL.  The quilt is about 21" unfinished.  And one day soon I WILL tackle it.

    Thanks for sharing the pictures and stories behind all three quilts. I paper-piece out of necessity, not love. It can make very small projects achievable.
