American Patchwork & Quilting - USA (2020-02)

“I made a small version of Fresh Snow

simply by reducing the number of

Snowball blocks and Flying Geese

units,” associate editor Diane Tomlinson

says. “At 45½×54½", it is the perfect size

for a youngster.”

Kristina Whitney, Handi Quilter Studio

Educator, used two layers of batting, an

80/20 and an all wool, and a 50-weight,

three-ply polyester thread in white (So

Fine by Superior Threads) to complete

the project. “In the Snowball blocks

I alternated a fl oral motif and a leaf

design,” Kristina says.

FABRICS are from the Tonga Smile collection

by Timeless Treasures Fabrics (ttfabrics.com).
