My Latest Winter Woods Quilt Finish!
We’ve just turned back our clocks for Daylight Savings Time, but I already have Christmas on the brain . . .
This finished quilt was made with my new Winter Woods quilt pattern! If you’d like to purchase the pattern, use the discount code WINTERWOODS at checkout for 20% off all PDF patterns in my shop through October 31, 2020!
For the trees, I chose prints in red, teal, and grey/black. Choosing the tree fabric was my favorite part of designing this quilt. The pattern includes directions for a quilt two sizes, with two types of tree blocks and printable templates with easy assembly instructions.

I used Kona Essen Linen in Black for the background. If you look closely, you’ll notice that my sashing rows are slightly darker than the tree rows, because this fabric came from a different batch. I don’t mind the striped effect, but I am glad I noticed it while I was sewing so I could keep it contained to just the middle rows.
While I was taking photos, my son jumped on top to get in my way. This happens quite often!
Although this is the “crib size” quilt, it’s actually a nice size for snuggling with just one person. (These are my legs underneath.) The larger lap quilt is great for snuggling with two people.
For the background, I pieced together some Riley Blake Designs fabrics: a black gingham, and winter trees. The binding is Domino Dot in black by Violet Craft. I love these fabrics together and am kicking myself that I didn’t buy more.
I finished my piecing, quilting, and binding by machine using the Baby Lock Destiny II. If you are planning to make a holiday quilt this year, have you already decided on a pattern? Joined any great quilt alongs?
I hope you enjoy the Winter Woods quilt! Remember, the WINTERWOODS discount code for 20% off is good through October 31,
