Snowflake Shimmer in Blue – Pieced Quilt Top
I am excited to have my quilt top done on time to share with you today, too!
Snowflake Shimmer in Blue – Pieced Center Viewed at a 45-degree Angle
Jennifer @RV Quilting shared a really unique perspective of her pieced quilt top in the Quilting Jetgirl Facebook group, and I was so fascinated that I took a photo of the center of my quilt top rotated at a 45-degree angle to mimic her photograph. Isn’t it interesting to see the quilt design from a different perspective?!?

Looks so frosty and snowflakey all pieced up! Really like that colour blue!
This is beautiful. I may just try to get it made. Nothing like adding another project to the list, lol.
Love the new perspective! It looks so lovely and wintery. 🙂
I really like this color way, I need to get my quilt finished 🙂
So fun seeing these all come together! Amazing how the fabric choices can change the look so much!
It is beautiful. (And blue!)
This quilt has been really fun to make. Thank you for your guidance along the way Yvonne; your tutorials are excellent and very helpful. I have learned in making this quilt that practice and taking my time are key partners to the tutorials as once I sewed my SiaS blocks together, they weren’t as perfect as I thought they were. Your quilt is stunning and your points are so perfect it is inspiration to me! I am enjoying seeing everyone’s progress along the way as well. Nice job SFS group!
It’s interesting to see all the different versions. Quilting is so great that everyone can make the same pattern but end up with a totally different quilt.
I wish my shoulder would have allowed me to make a bed size quilt, but I love the mini version too.
These are all stunning! It’s surprising how each looks so different from the original. Now I wish I had made time to do this sewalong. Thank you, Yvonne! Even though I didn’t make the quilt along with you, I benefited by reading your concise and precise directions. I know my piecing will improve!
