Design Your Snowflake The finished size is 6”. Use 5 ½” square pieces of paper to practice. Fold in eight pie wedges. Cut as desired just like you did when you were a child. Choose your favorite snowflake and draw it on freezer paper.
Preparing for Applique Center the freezer paper, shiny side down, on your white fabric and press. Draw around the design with a temporary Fabric marker (blue works well).
Lining Your Snowflake I recommend that you work with two layers of white fabric. You can use a lighter weight fabric as the lining fabric. I remove the freezer paper after I mark the fabric. You will cut it out as you stitch. Center and pin the snowflake and lining to the blue background.
Applique From The Center Out BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO CUT THE BACKGROUND FABRIC!!
Once you finish the inside, Start on the outside.
Finishing the Mini Quilt Add an edge treatment if you want to. I sewed the trim onto the front.
Sandwich, Sew and Turn Pin front and back right sides together With batting on the back. Leave an opening to turn the quilt right side out. Press. Sew the opening closed and Quilt as desired. Enjoy!!
