Winter Village – Finishing Touch

Thank you so much for joining us for this Winter Village Quilt Along! I had so much fun making these cute houses with you! 😊 In some way, I feel like we have become quilting neighbors 😊

Now it’s time to add the final touches to our project! A little appliqué using our Blue Sky silhouettes and snowflakes, Hobbs batting for quilting, and binding.

Please follow the Winter Village pattern for cutting directions and visit our YouTube channel for additional tips and help.

If you would like, you can add additional borders to your quilt to make it bigger. A big print from our Blue Sky collection will work well (I suggest 8505-L), or you could make a pieced border.

Edyta’s Tip: Our pre-cut Quilter’s Dozen star blocks look amazing around this quilt. I used 4 boxes of the blocks to make the border on the Winter Village quilt below.

For my mini village, I only added a border to the top and bottom of the quilt, and I was able to do it with just 1 Quilter’s Dozen kit.

I also have planted a few Pinehurst trees — but we’ll talk more about that on Wednesday. I can’t wait to show you – see you then!

Happy Quilting! Edyta
