This patchwork style quilt is perfect for
adding in all sorts of appliqués! Since each
home is its own block, you can incorporate
all sorts of fun textures or materials for
the houses. With a variety of stitch types
overlaid on these scenes, we recommend
sticking to small prints or patterns to not
distract from the embroidered additions.

CHOOSING
COLORS FOR
YOUR QUILT
FABRICS
Try incorporating a mix of materials! We
used a variety of silk dupioni colors for our
houses, as well as cottons with smaller,
simple patterns for added visual texture.
THREADS
We used Floriani shades of brown and
tan for the house structures, but pops of
vibrant colors like blue and red to help the
holiday decor stand out against the homes.
NOTIONS
As common with most of our quilting
collections, you’ll want a good pair of
appliqué scissors as well as a rotary cutter
and ruler for clean cutting and trimming.
