Our newest release, Snowberry Runners is a playful pattern that is fun to make! Using 2 colors or your scraps, I think you will find this versatile pattern has many uses!
This pattern features freezer paper piecing. I chose it so that you get repeatable and accurate results with skinny strips. The applique is optional; you can add it or not - I like the berries!
We recommend printable freezer paper for this project. I like C&T's version for this - you will use 1-2 sheets for this project and have enough for other projects! Use this in your inkjet printer - so fast and easy.
Freezer paper piecing tips that I have for you:
- Accurate pre-scoring takes time, but saves time.
- When you are sewing and the freezer paper is folded, your goal is to sew right beside the freezer paper. Take your time and go slowly to that you can see that your needle is almost right up against the fold.
As you can see, there are 2 versions, but really, there are endless versions! Here's my scrappy Kaffe-y version:
Here Is what I played with before putting the above together - just snowflake sections, no berries. I like this too!
Here's a single block with borders:
And the resulting pillow; I will be sharing a flanged pillow for quilt blocks soon.
Ask for the Snowberry Runners at your local quilt shop or find it at stinasquilt.com! It's a lot of fun!
