Snowed In Color Option

Quilt tester: Diane Tomlinson

Fabrics: Magical Journey and Whisper Vol. 3 collections by Anthology Fabrics

"I eliminated the sashing squares and rectangles in my 28-1/2-square version of Snowed In," associate editor Diane Tomlinson says. "I had fun playing with the color placement of the purple and aqua batiks. By paying attention to my color choices, I could set four blocks together in the same direction."

First Frost Color Option

Quilt tester: Diane Tomlinson

Fabrics: Stonehenge Solstice collection by Northcott

To change the look of First Frost, gather fabrics in an autumn color palette-golden yellow, vibrant orange, and leafy green, all with a touch of metallic gold-and piece a border to frame the center. In this case, the border is a Celtic-inspired stripe cut perpendicular to the selvage.
