Canadian winters can be long (especially here in Nova Scotia!)…but they are also beautiful, with the landscape blanketed in glistening snow, and windows painted by Jack Frost. You can bring some of that sparkle inside with my new “FROST” runner pattern.
I designed the block used in this runner way back in 2006 while working on another winter-themed quilt. Although it didn’t make the cut for that quilt, it shines on its own as a simple block repeat in a project.
The runner goes together quickly as it uses only 3 colours, and 3 foundation-pieced blocks. Sample shown uses a swirly blue/silver print, with icicle spikes in silver and white.
The length of the project can easily be adjusted by using more or fewer blocks, or even turn it into a full sized quilt! This one measures 12" x 36".
A single block makes a sweet winter table topper, or placemat.
The pattern for FROST is available on my website in both a printed and downloadable digital version. You can find the links here. Patterns are also available in selected quilt shops, including locally at Sunrise Trail Quiltery and Mrs Pugsley's Emporium. If you can't find it in your local shop, please ask them to order it for you.
Long after Christmas is packed away, this runner can see service until the last snowflake melts.
It certainly looks frosty and icy, Karen!
