Tips on Fabrics and Colors
To truly capture the spirit of winter, consider using a cool-toned palette—think icy blues, crisp whites, silver-grays, and soft lavenders. These shades echo the hues of snowy landscapes and frosty mornings. For a more festive feel, try incorporating pops of red, evergreen, or even metallics like gold and silver to mimic holiday decorations and twinkling lights.
When it comes to fabric choices, mix in some textured cottons or subtle prints like snowflakes, pine trees, or tiny stars. Batiks and tone-on-tone fabrics also work beautifully for giving depth to the block without overwhelming the design. For extra dimension, try using a dark background fabric to make the lighter pieces pop like snowflakes against a night sky.
Using pre-cuts such as fat quarters or scraps is a great way to bring variety to each block without having to purchase large quantities of fabric. If you’re planning a full quilt, try alternating blocks in different shades to create a shimmering winter wonderland effect.
