The Snowflake Quilt Pattern is now available at Sewfinity!

 

Why We Like It

Designed by Nicole of Modern Handcraft, the Snowflake Quilt is minimal and wintry. It's a modern design, with an offset large-scale snowflake. It's perfect for those wanting a non-traditional quilt to throw on the couch for some wintertime cuddling.

The variations in background design give you lots of customization options. Make the background one single color, four colors in horizontal stripes, scrappy, or make your own background design with the aid of the coloring page.

It comes together quickly: simple shapes and 2-at-a-time half-square triangle piecing make it pretty simple.

Tips + Tutorials
