Snowflake Magic quilt pattern

❄️ Say Hello to Snowflake Magic! ✨

The Snowflake Magic quilt pattern is designed as the sister pattern to the beloved Winterflake quilt, but with a fresh twist, even more versatility, and 5 different sizes to suit every project.

Whether you’re sewing for a baby, a cozy throw, a twin bed, or even a king-size quilt, there’s a version of Snowflake Magic waiting for you. With its modern snowflake-inspired design, this quilt brings a frosty sparkle to any season — not just winter!

What Makes Snowflake Magic Special?

• Five sizes included: Lap, Twin, Bed, Full and King.

• Endless layout possibilities. Play with blocks and negative space to create your own version.

• Beginner-friendly with clear instructions. Whether you’re newer to quilting or experienced, you’ll enjoy the approachable construction.

• Customizable for all seasons. While inspired by a snowflake, this design looks amazing in both frosty winter palettes and bold, summery tones.

Why a Sister Pattern to Winterflake?

Many of you loved the Winterflake quilt and asked for a pattern with more layout flexibility and size options. Snowflake Magic is my answer to that! It keeps the same geometric snowflake charm but offers a whole new world of design ideas to explore. Think of it as the cool younger sister — with even more options to play with.

Get Inspired

I’ve included multiple color mock-ups and layout ideas inside the pattern to help spark your creativity. Whether you go for soft pastels or holiday reds and greens, this quilt is designed to shine in any palette.

Winterflake quilt sew-along

Hi and welcome to my first ever quilt sew-along! 

It's been exactly 10 years since I made my first quilt and I definitely learnt a lot along the way. 

I am not sure how many quilts and quilt patterns I created so far, but I enjoyed the process, especially in the last two years, when I had my pattern testers to join me in my journey. It's been absolutely amazing to share the experience, the opinions and feedback in order to bring the better products and results, but just the fact that I was sewing in a company, even virtual, was a game changer. It was so much enjoyable and better. So I am hoping that you will be able to enjoy not only the process of making a new quilt, but also a community and that you can make some new quilty friends along the way!

Last year, when I created and released my Winterflake quilt pattern, the response was amazing and I am happy to talk a bit more about it again, now in form of sew-along event.

I am hoping that we can get to learn, share, and create together. 

The Winterflake quilt pattern should be appealing to a wide range of skill levels although all my patterns are written for the beginner to advanced beginner/intermediate sewer. 

To make the process easy, accurate and fast, most of the units necessary for the log-cabin constructed blocks are assembled using the strip piecing technique.

So, what is sew-along?

The sew-along is collaborative event where participants follow a specific pattern or design to create a quilt together. It's a fantastic way to learn new sewing techniques, complete projects and connect with other sewing enthusiasts.

I will provide the preparatory instructions, fabric options/color palettes (with a few shop links where kits are available), post videos and diagrams that will help you complete this fun quilt pattern! According to the following schedule, I will make a blog post each week with a video follow-up. It will be all available on my Instagram account as well.

If you have any thoughts, questions or suggestions, please just post them in the comments, either here or on Instagram.

While you will be able to learn how to create the blocks, you will still need to get the pattern, if you already didn't. Last December, I shared the Winterflake block as a free download for my newsletter subscribers, so if you got that, you should be fine, too.

Winterflake quilt-along schedule:

• Week One, June 19 -  Prep: Choose  + Cut Fabrics
• Week Two, June 26 - Make strip sets
• Week Three, July 3 -  Make Quarters 
• Week Four, July 10 - Make Blocks
• Week Five, July 17 - Quilt top assembly
• Week Six, July 24 -  Finishing

Throughout the sew-along, I will be glad to provide guidance and address any issues that you may encounter. 

To gather all the projects, pics, comments and information together, please just use the hashtag #winterflakeSAL on Instagram.
I hope that you will join me during this Christmas in July kind of sewing event and that you will enjoy the process and have fun!

Here are some of the mock-ups in the bed size, that will have the fabric requirements determined:

Winterflake quilt pattern

I am so thrilled and excited to launch my newest quilt pattern in my Etsy shop: Winterflake!!!  🌿

This quilt pattern is really so easy and enjoyable to make, as it’s created with units obtained with strip piecing technique. Strip piecing is really just an easier, time-saving method and patchwork technique created by sewing multiple fabric strips together to create a composite unit (a strip set) that is then cut to obtain smaller,  multi-piece segments. Strip piecing eliminates the need to work with small, individual pieces of fabric. 

Prior to cutting your fabric into strips, it is important to check if the fabric edges are straight. To check the edges fold the fabric in half, matching the selvedges. Start cutting strips after ensuring a straight edge at 90° between the WOF and the selvage. Having an accurate seam allowance is necessary for obtaining precise strip sets, especially where multiple strips are sewn together.

This pattern comes in different quilt sizes:

- baby: 54.25” x 54.25”
- throw: 74” x 74”
- bed: 108.5” x 108.5” 

But there's also the possibility to play around the baby size, adding blocks to only two sides rather than all four, making a rectangle shape rather than square.

This pattern is the first quilt created with my newest fabric collection: Botanist that is available in shops worldwide. 

During this week, on my Instagram, I will present several stunning versions using Winterflake quilt pattern in different Art Gallery Fabrics.
