Winter Village Mini – Finishing Touches

We finally made it all the way through our adorable Mini Winter Village! I wanted to take a moment to thank you all again. This really has been a special time – our Wednesday and Friday rendezvous will be sorely missed, but have no fear! We have many more quilting events planned — stay tuned!

Now that we’ve completed our BIG, BEAUTIFUL Winter Village quilt, it’s time to get creative with our mini version…

Use this as a chance to have fun, test out new ideas 💡, and just get creative!

I sprinkled these precious little Pinehurst trees into my mini winter village for a more scenic feel.

Watch our “Pinehurst” YouTube video for details on making little trees.

To even further personalize mine, I added a sawtooth star border to the top and bottom of my mini quilt using one of our Blue Sky Quilter’s Dozen pre-cut kits.

Then I finished up with some Hobbs batting and binding from our Blue Sky collection. Edyta’s Tip: I used a combination of 8505-W, 8506-W, and 8514-W for my scrappy binding.

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
