Winter Quilts: snow, ice and starry nights

We're wrapping up our Winter Quilts Series! Thanks to these remarkable artists, we've had a blast learning about all the different techniques that can be used to create snowflakes: reverse shadow trapunto, quick strip paper piecing, kaleidoscopes, Notan, sun printing and more. Here are all the quilts we've shown over the last two weeks, along with links to the original websites where you can find books, patterns, prints and other products. And now, it's time for us to move on to our next Free Pattern Day and a special featured artist. See you on Monday!

  1. This series of posts about winter quilts has been most inspiring. Quilters love to quilt and show flowers, but these quilts demonstrate the versatility that fabric can give us to quilt other seasons. Every single quilt is stunning but Kaleidoscope XXII and Frosty Windows are outstanding.
