Hey there fellow quilters!
I’m so excited to share this vibrant and festive adventure with you today!
As the holiday season approaches, I often reminisce about cozy get-togethers, the smell of cookies baking, and the joy of creating handmade treasures.
It’s in this spirit that I stumbled upon the Snow-Kissed Star quilt pattern.
When I first saw it, the frosty colors and joyful prints instantly made my heart sing!
I couldn’t wait to get my hands on those fabrics and start stitching.
Whipping up this quilt has been an extraordinary journey.
It’s not just about pulling out my sewing machine; it’s about creating a warmth that fills my home and hearts of my loved ones.
I remember the satisfaction of piecing together each block, seeing those triangles come to life, and imagining the delight on everyone’s faces when they receive such a heartfelt gift.
Today, I’m here to walk you through the process of making the Snow-Kissed Star quilt.
Let’s get started!
A Cozy Quilt for a Merry Kissmas
The Snow-Kissed Star quilt is an intermediate-level project with a finished size of 56 inches by 56 inches.
It features a combination of pieced triangle blocks and double triangles that dance together to form stunning star patterns.
Designed with fabrics from the delightful Flurry collection by Kate Spain for Moda, this quilt truly captures the essence of winter festivities!
The use of assorted prints grouped by color adds to its charm and visual interest, creating an enchanting star that’s sure to shine bright.
When making the Snow-Kissed Star quilt, you have the option of using a Jelly Roll, which is a convenient way to grab a range of fabric prints.
Or you can mix and match your colors if you’re feeling adventurous!
Either way, this quilt is perfect for brightening up your holiday season and adding a touch of handmade charm to your home.
You’ll find that every stitch helps to recreate those warm and joyful memories of Christmas.
