Winter Village Mini Recipes – Block 3

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

Winter Village Quilt Along – Block 3

Welcome back everyone! If you are just joining us, we are so happy to have you! (Click here to start with Block 1!)

With the first row of our neighborhood down, it’s time to move on to the next street!

You will need: Winter Village pattern, fabric (we have kits!), rotary, ruler, fabric pencil, pins, scissors, seam press, and Aurifil thread 2310

HOUSE 6

We will begin by cutting House 6. Follow the directions on page 10 of the Winter Village Pattern and lay out all your pieces for your sixth house.

This house is made from 3 units. I’m going to show you how to make 1 unit:

We will assemble our unit by sewing the top and bottom blue rectangles to the light window square. Pin and sew the blue side rectangles to complete the unit.

Complete the remaining 2 units of the house following the same steps as above, and finish by sewing all 3 units together into one row. Now add the square roof and press.

To make the chimneys for all 3 units, sew together light rectangles and square in a row.

Complete your block by sewing the house row, chimney row and sky together and press. Pin and sew on side sashing to finish House 6.

HOUSE 7

We will now cut House 7. Follow the directions on page 11 of the Winter Village Pattern and lay out all of your pieces for the seventh house.

Begin by sewing light windows and door with blue rectangles.

Please visit our YouTube channel for additional tips on pinning and matching the windows.

Add roof and side sashing to complete House 7.

HOUSE 8

We will now cut House 8. Follow the directions on page 12 of the Winter Village Pattern and lay out all of your pieces for the eighth house.

Begin by sewing light and blue HST unit to make a roof. Then sew blue rectangles to the top and bottom of light window and sew blue rectangles on each side.

Pin and sew, sky rectangle, HST roof unit, and house unit together. Add side sashing and press to complete House 8.
