I have been wanting to play with my winter Liberty prints for a long time, but I couldn’t come up with design I liked. While going through the Liberty website for inspiration, I found some patterns! Free ones! This quilt is three blocks, the tree is from one quilt, the star is one from another and the last block is.. scraps from making the stars!
Here are the links to the free downloadable patterns:
Tree: https://www.libertylondon.com/uk/features/craft/2020-festive-quilt-project.html
Use the templates & instructions for the simple tree block. You can add the house & other tree block too!
Star: https://www.libertylondon.com/uk/features/craft/merry-and-bright-liberty-quilt-project.html
Use the star block instructions. The pattern also has stars that are in a snowball that can also be used.
Scrap Snowflake Blocks:
Here is my YouTube video on how to sew scrap blocks when making flying geese for the stars:
I made 6 star blocks and used the scraps to make these fun snowflake blocks. Make 30 pinwheel blocks from your star scraps. Trim to 3 inches. To make the block, sew a patchwork of 5 pinwheels and (4) 3 inch squares of a background print per block.
All blocks I added a 2 inch boarder around and ended up trimming to 8 inches. It would be 9 or 8.5 but I mess one one up and just went with 8 inch
I made 42 blocks all together. The layout can be any combo of the blocks as it’s a snowy forest kinda look, feel free to add in other 8 inch blocks.. it’s your quilt, have fun!
I used 3.5 inch strips for the outer boarder.
Happy Sewing!
