Hello, Hello My Fairfield Friends!
Heather here from The Sewing Loft back again to share this months new block in the Starry Night Quilt Sampler. Today’s block is a cool snowflake block that measures 9″ when finished.
Remember, I’ll be stopping by to share a new block each month and a few extra tips to help you create this lap size quilt that finishes 45″ x 54″. PDF for Printing
If you are just joining us, be sure to click here for the material list and first block. Don’t worry about being behind, you can jump in at anytime.
Today’s block is a cool snowflake block that measures 9″ when finished. While it has simple straight lines, seam placement will be key. Let’s take a look and get started.
Cutting Instructions:
- Cut 1 Charcoal Net 3 3/4″ square
- Cut 1 Ocean Polka Dot 5 3/4″ square *sub cut into 4 triangles
- Cut 2 Charcoal Dress Stripe 5 1/2″ x 3 3/4″ *cut on bias
- Cut 2 Turquoise Dress Stripe 5 1/2″ x 3 3/4″ *cut on bias
Additional Notes:
-Stripe blocks have been cut on bias for print direction only. Feel free to adjust back to straight grain based on your fabric.
-Sub cut large polka dot square into 4 triangles.
Sewing Assembly:
- Following color key, place a triangle right sides together to the rectangle and stitch using 1/4″ seam allowance. Press open and repeat to the other side.
- Repeat step 1 to create 2 finished units.
- With remaining pieces, stitch center square right sides together with 1/4″ seam allowance to the rectangle. Press and repeat to opposite side.
Using 1/4″ seam allowance, join each unit together to create the finished block. Press seams and trim block to a 9 1/2″ square. This will leave you 1/4′ seam allowance all around for joining to other blocks at the end.
Remember, you will need 1 finished Snowflake block to complete the Starry Night Quilt Sampler.
For those of you that are seasoned quilters this block will be a breeze but if this is your first block of the month series have no fear, I’m here to help you through it. To help you achieve success with each block, I’ve put together a few of my favorite sewing tips here.
Well, that’s it for now. Don’t forget that I’ll be back next month with a next block in the Starry Night Quilt Block of the Month series. In the meantime, be sure to come find me on social media and share a few pictures of your finished block using #StarryNightQuilt as a tag, I want to see how your blocks are coming along!
Hi there…. I was just wondering why I cannot seem to find a “printer friendly” version link or a link to a PDF download for block # 2 ??
Am I missing something? Any help or reply would be most appreciated. Looking forward to completing this amazing BOM. Thanks Heather!
Regards, Ann
Ann,
We did not anticipate everyone wanting individual blocks in pdf. We are actively working to create new files for you. Thank you for your patients.
So glad you are stitching along Ann! Can’t wait to see your finished blocks. Be sure to share a few pictures when you are done.
My Best-
Heather

Happy sewing!
I would like to know why I could not print the January pattern you posted with the Aurifil Design Team 2016. Can you send it to me in a PDF ?
Hello Delilah,
I’m not sure why you are experiencing issues with printing my BOM on the Aurifil blog. Here is a direct link. Once you have it open you should be able to select File; Print and send it to your printer.

Looking forward to seeing your finished block!

your PDF file only has page 1. What a shame I have to waste so much of this expensive printer ink. I could have spent the money on batting, which I need at the moment.
Judy,
I am not sure I understand your complaint. The pattern is intended to be a single sheet to be cost effective for printing.
