Snowalong Week 5

Posted by Nicole Daksiewicz on

Hi friends,

Welcome to week 5 of the Snowalong! We are well on our way to a finished quilt top in less than 3 weeks now - perfect timing for snuggling up on the colder days or wrapping up for a Holiday present.

You can find the first few blog posts for the Snowalong here:

I am impressed with everyones work so far - the creativity on the fabric combinations and layouts is amazing!

Week 5: Snowflake Quilt / Blocks 14 - 15

This week is another easy week on the Snowalong - we just have two blocks to complete: Blocks 14 - 15. I went ahead and finished off the first three completed columns by sewing them together. This not only keeps me a little better organized. but I am now so much closer to finishing my quilt top!

If you are working on a buffalo plaid layout like I am, be careful to not let the layout on these two blocks trick you. Just looking at this it seems off - like I am missing a black square on that front block layout - the snowflake covers some of these parts but will completely make sense once you have the blocks laid out with all of the others.

This week on the Asterisks quilt we also only have two blocks: Blocks F E (bottom).

What to expect in Week 6

Next week is the official "busy season" for making for the holidays so having just a few blocks left to sew up to finish our quilt tops is perfect!

I am going to start making a list of Longarm quilting designs that look great on the Snowflake quilt - if you have had one quilted or know of a pattern leave a comment below letting us know the name of the pattern!

Be sure to tag your projects using #snowalong on social media or add your progress photos to the Modern Handcraft Pattern Group page on Facebook - everyone is so encouraging and it's so fun to see all of the different ways to make the pattern!

Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving week with your family and friends. 

Happy sewing!
