Snowy Forest for December Quilt Block Mania

How better to wrap up the year with a Snowy Forest quilt block? 

Thanks to the Quilt Block Mania 'forest' theme this month, I went with snow to make it a perfect block for December. 

Take a look at all the other 'forest' themed blocks from my quilt designer friends.

These are free for December 2023. After that, the designers reserve the rights to continue to offer them for free or as a paid pattern. So get them while they last!

In order to easily deal with the angles in my Snowy Forest block, foundation piecing is required. It's pretty easy to make the trees and the snow, with 5-6 pieces each. And again, fat quarters and foundation paper are all that's needed to make one block. I just love how the snow banks turned out!

One foundation piecing pattern is included in the Snowy Forest pattern. You'll need to print three, but print as many as you like. Then just follow the numbering and coloring on the templates to make the trees - easy peasy! The finished block measures 12" x 12", a nice size to foundation piece.

The Snowy Forest block is available for free until January 1, 2024. Just click on the download button below for the PDF pattern file.

Welcome to Midweek Makers! 

Has everyone has recovered from turkey and stuffing? How about holiday shopping? Anyone pick up some quilt related deals? I'm got through both, taking advantage of a deal on batting and some fabric for future projects. Once my back recovers a bit more, I hope to do more sewing.

Though the Midweek Makers badge is winter themed this week, I'm giving one last hurrah to fall with the following autumn themed quilts from last week.

From Not Afraid of Color, this colorful leaf wall hanging,

and the next two from Melva Loves Scraps: an adorable leaf mini-quilt,

and little turkey, full personality!

I'll be looking for Christmas and Hanukkah quilts over the next month - share 'em if you have 'em!

Welcome to Midweek Makers and a big Happy Thanksgiving!

 

I stitched up another block last week, but you can't see it till Tuesday when the new Quilt Block Mania block comes out. I'll think you'll love it! Otherwise, I've spent my time back at the computer, designing and getting ready for RSC2024 starting in January. Can't wait for the start of the new year to hopefully get my medical issues behind me.

There were some very pretty quilts last week - did you check them out? If not, here's my three favorites:

from Pinker n Punkin Quilting, Butterfly Kisses from Heaven.

Here's the third Sweet Tweet block from DonnaleeQ,

and last but not least, this Paducah Log Cabin from Dragon's Heart Quilting.
