Unique angled piecing guarantees no two quilts made from this pattern will ever be alike!

Snowflake Sizzle

Remember those paper snowflakes you made as a kid? They're back! And they are fabulous on this colorful snowstorm of a quilt. We'll each create a blizzard from strip pieced snowflakes, and embellish them with beads, crystals, or whatever your fancy to ensure that like snowflakes, no two quilts will be alike.
