It’s that time for our middle of the week pick-me-up, our Mini Winter Village Quilt Recipes!

Is everyone loving these as much as I am? My mind is wondering what else I can add to the little houses to spruce them up! Maybe some flowers, a few little trees, or even a little dog house– Oliver would love that!


Check out our YouTube Channel for tips and tricks when calculating these mini block recipes and making your regular Winter Village.

Look at our little village grow! These mini house recipes can be a great addition to any quilt, but don’t just stop there – think of everything else you could do!

I used some extra scraps from our Perfect Union collection, and using our Pinehurst Templates, I’m ready to plant cute little trees in my new neighborhood! See our “Pinehurst” YouTube video for details on making little trees.


Stay tuned and I’ll show you where we’ll be adding the trees when we assemble the mini quilt!


Happy Quilting! Edyta

Sew thankful you are quilting along with me! As promised, every Wednesday I am going to post the recipes for my Mini Winter Village Quilt. If you have any leftovers from your Winter Village Kit, make sure you save them to make this perfect little project!

Before we start, make sure to watch Week 1 video of the Winter Village Quilt Along on our YouTube channel to see how to calculate the mini block recipes. I am so excited to share this with you!

These are the first little cuties! Houses 1, 2, 3…

I just love to see the side by side comparison of the houses!

House 1 – Mini Recipe A – 2 rectangles 1” x 2” light fabric B – 1 square 2” x 2” light fabric C – 1 rectangle 3-1/2” x 2” blue fabric for roof D – 1 rectangle 2-1/2” x 3-1/2” blue fabric for house E – 1 rectangle 1” x 1-1/4” blue fabric for house F – 1 rectangle 1” x 2-1/4” blue fabric for house G – 1 rectangle 1” x 3-1/2” blue fabric for house H – 1 rectangle 1” x 2” blue fabric for chimney I – 1 rectangle 3-1/2” x 2-1/2” light fabric for background J – 1 rectangle 1-1/4” x 7” light fabric for sashing K– 1 square 1’’ x 1’’ light fabric for window

For House 2, I have simplified the windows a little bit more. You’ll notice this in the recipe below.

House 2 – Mini Recipe A – 1 rectangle 5” x 2-1/2” light fabric for background B – 1 rectangle 1-1/4” x 7” light fabric for sashing C – 1 rectangle 5” x 2” blue fabric for roof D – 2 quarter square triangles from 1 square 3-1/4” x 3-1/4” medium fabric, cut twice diagonally (unfinished QST will measure 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″) E – 2 quarter square triangles from 1 square 3-1/4” x 3-1/4” medium fabric, cut twice diagonally (unfinished QST will measure 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″) F – 1 rectangle 2-1/2” x 1-1/2” blue fabric for house G, H, I, J, K – I replaced all of the pieces with 1 rectangle 2-1/2” x 3-1/2” of blue fabric

I had so much fun on House 3 – I think these little blocks are even easier to make than the big ones, less room to make mistakes! 😊

House 3 – Mini Recipe A – 1 rectangle 1-3/4” x 3-1/2” blue fabric for roof B – 2 rectangles 1-1/4” x 5-1/4” blue fabric for house C – 1 rectangle 1” x 5-1/4” blue fabric for house D – 4 rectangles 1” x 1-1/4” blue fabric for house E – 1 rectangle 1” x 2-3/4” blue fabric for house F – 1 square 1” x 1” blue fabric for chimney G– 1 rectangle 1-1/2” x 7” light fabric for sashing H – 3 squares 1’’ x 1’’ light fabric for window I – 1 rectangle 1” x 3-1/4” light fabric for door J – 1 rectangle 1” x 2-1/2” light fabric K – 1 square 1” x 1” light fabric

That’s all for today. Can’t wait to see you Friday!
