A Holiday Quilt Filled With Winter Magic

There is something special about sewing a quilt that can become part of your holiday traditions for years to come.

The Frosted Snow Globe Quilt captures the beauty of winter through a collection of snow globe blocks, each featuring a detailed snowflake surrounded by festive fabrics and snowy backgrounds. The pattern includes instructions for both a table runner and a throw quilt, giving you the flexibility to create a project that fits your home and decorating style.

Inspired by the A Nutcracker Tradition fabric collection by Jennifer Long for Riley Blake Designs, this quilt combines classic holiday colors with timeless snowflake motifs to create a project that feels both festive and elegant.

A Technique to Practice: Stitch-and-Flip Piecing

One of the key techniques used throughout the Frosted Snow Globe Quilt is stitch-and-flip piecing.

This technique allows simple shapes to transform into beautiful snowflake details while helping quilters achieve clean angles and crisp points. As each block comes together, the individual units slowly reveal the snowflake design hidden within the piecing.

Projects like this are a wonderful way to build confidence while creating a quilt that looks much more complex than the individual steps might suggest.

About the Frosted Snow Globe Quilt

The Frosted Snow Globe Quilt is available in two sizes.

The table runner finishes at approximately 68¾" × 18¼", while the throw quilt finishes at approximately 68¾" × 81¼".

Whether displayed on a holiday table, draped over a favorite chair, or used as part of your seasonal décor, this quilt is designed to become a cherished part of your winter traditions.

The repeating snow globe blocks create a beautiful visual impact while still allowing each fabric combination to shine.

Simple Ways to Make It Your Own

One of the joys of quilting is making each project unique.

You might choose traditional holiday fabrics, soft winter neutrals, vintage-inspired prints, or a completely different color palette while still keeping the snow globe design front and center.

The Frosted Snow Globe Quilt also offers opportunities for creative quilting designs, whether you choose simple straight-line quilting or more detailed snowflake-inspired motifs.
