Scrappy or Planned?
This project can be as scrappy or planned as you like. The suggested number of fabrics is listed in the yardage chart – but really, use up your scraps! The important thing is the contrast between fabrics within your blocks. Where the blocks meet in the quilt top works itself out. That doesn’t sound too complicated, does it?
The quilts below show you a few options for different colorways and fabric types.
Grunge is a great option for a solid with some personality. I like to mix it up with small prints and, tonals. You can really have some fun with the snowman hats. Plaids, polka dots, stripes…
I used Civil War reproduction fabrics in the cover quilt and lots of homespun plaids for the snowman hats and scarves.

Basically one red, one dark blue, one medium blue, two blues for the snowmen four patch, |
Cute in Christms red and green! You probably can’t see the detail well enough, but these fabrics are from Heritage Red and Green by Judi Rothermel from Marcus Fabrics. |

Red and White is so delightful! Add a bit of gray and it’s perfect! |
Soft tan and Blue. Grunge by Moda is pictured. |
