Take a magical trip to the North Pole with this festive throw quilt. Sew houses in a snow-capped village and have fun being creative with a variety of embellishments including applique and hand- or machine-embroidery. The houses even have optional door pockets to turn this quilt into an advent calendar.
Week 8: Finish the Quilt
Welcome to the final week of the North Pole Village Quilt Along! We’ve reached an exciting milestone: finishing your quilt! Give yourself a pat on the back! This week, we’ll focus on quilting around the pockets and adding that extra touch of sparkle to make your quilt truly magical. To make your final steps as smooth as possible, be sure to watch the video where I walk you through the process of finishing your quilt.
A Huge Thank You!
Your dedication, creativity, and enthusiasm have made this quilt along a truly special experience. Each quilt is unique, showcasing your individual style and the effort you’ve put into every stitch. It’s been a joy to watch your quilts come together and see the stunning results of your hard work.
Gather Your Fabrics
I made the North Pole Village quilt with Confetti Cotton solids from Riley Blake Basics. You can choose any fabrics you'd like for this quilt! It's fat quarter friendly, scrap friendly, and would look fantastic in any holiday fabrics! You can get the fabric requirements at the link below.
If you're adding optional applique, you will also need Thermoweb Heat N Bond Lite Iron-On Adhesive Fusible Web.
Buy the Quilt Pattern
I also suggest pairing this quilt with my Santa's Workshop Felt Panel, which includes cute dolls and holiday shapes that you can hide in the pockets of the quilt! See a list of shops carrying it here (scroll down on a page a little)
