Piecing Instructions
This pattern is planned with precise 1/4” seams throughout. To test your 1/4” seam to see if it’s ‘right on’,
cut two pieces of fabric EXACTLY 1-1/2” x 5”. Stitch them together along the 5” length. Measure across
the two - at the mid-point. They should be exactly 2-1/2” wide. If not, adjust your seam allowance, and
repeat this procedure until correct.
1. Stitch each 2” x as long as possible bias Plaid
into a tube with a 1/8” seam. Turn and press,
leaving the ends raw.
2. Using your favorite Fusible for appliqué, trace a
Snowman shape for each of the 6 blocks. Position
it on the Appliqué Background. Before fusing,
fold a Step 1 scarf in half and slide the folded
edge under the snowman’s neck. Attach by
fusing and then use your favorite stitch to secure
the snowman to the background, keeping the
scarf loose. (The scarf will lie out away from the
snowman until step 7.)
3. Trace the Snowman’s Hat on fusible and apply
to Hat print. Also cut and fuse a nose. Fuse in
place and stitch. Make 6.
8. Stitch a 2” x 7-1/2” Bias Plaid gently to two
opposite sides of the Appliqué blocks. Make 6. Do
NOT press.
9. Add a 2” square of Cornerstone to both ends of
the remaining (12) 2” x 7-1/2” Bias Plaid pieces. Do
NOT press.
10. Attach the Step 9 units above and below the
Step 8’s. Make 6. Do NOT press.
4. Add the Plaid hatband by tracing and fusing on
left over plaid. Stitch in place.
5. With a zigzag stitch and brown thread, give
each snowman two arms, as shown. You’ll need to
use a stabilizer under this fabric to prevent rippling
or stretching.
6. Either satin stitch or embellish with beads the
dots for the coal mouth and eyes. Make 6.
11. Stitch a Triangle Corner to each of the 4 sides
of the Step 10 pieces. The triangle will overlap the
square by a seam allowance on each end, all
the way around. Take care to NOT stretch these.
Make 6. Press toward the triangles after all 4 are in
place.
7. Tie the scarf on each snowman and lightly tack
it in place with thread so it will stay. Make 6.
12. Stitch a 2-1/2” x 14-1/2” Bias Plaid to two
opposite sides of each block. Make 6. Do NOT
press.

13. Stitch a 2-1/2” square of
Cornerstone to both ends of the
remaining (12) 2-1/2” x 14-1/2” Bias
Plaid pieces. Do NOT press.
17. Add the Step 16 units above each Step 15 block, and
also below two of them for the bottom row.
14. Attach the Step 13 units above
and below the Step 12’s. Make 6.
Do NOT press.
18. Lay out the blocks and stitch them together. Then
create the right side column of 4-1/2” Large cornerstones
alternating with 4-1/2” x 18-1/2” Vertical Toile Sashing, and
add it. Press carefully.
15. Add a 4-1/2” x 18-1/2” Vertical
Toile Sashing to the left of each
block. Wait to press.
16. Stitch a 4-1/2” Large Cornerstone
square to the left end of all (8) 4-1/2”
x 18-1/2” Horizontal Toile Sashings.
19. Stitch the 3-1/2” strips of Outer Border
together, end to end. Measure through the
center of the quilt, and cut two lengths this size
for the two sides. Stitch them in place.
20. Measure across the center of your quilt,
including the borders added in Step 19. Cut two
Outer Borders this length and stitch them to the
Top and Bottom. Press.
Finishing
21. Prepare for quilting. To quilt, we suggest
outlining the Snowmen. Try an allover loose
meander of snowflakes in the background.
22. Bind with the 2-1/2” strips that match the outer
border. To ensure perfect miters on your binding,
use the Binding Miter Tool from Animas Quilts.
