This is a quilt along! 

"Snowmen in the Cabin Window" Quilt

This project is scrap-friendly.

This top measures 42" by 42"

Fabric Requirements:

For the blocks:

2" black and white print strips, a mix of black on white and white on black,

    fat quarters or scrap strips work well, about 10 FQs would be needed

4.5" black squares; a total of 9 needed

6" circles of white fabric, about 4-5 circles, 

     as you can wedges for more than one block

scrap of orange fabric for the carrot noses, about 3" by 6"

scraps of fabric for the hats, scarves, earmuffs or whatever you create for your snowmen ... have fun making these your own 

Also needed:

fusible applique interfacing, I used Wonder Under 

    - follow the instructions for use from the manufacturer

I used buttons and bright scraps for the eyes and mouths,
but the details could be appliqued or embroidered

Additional fabric for finishing the top:

Inner Border:   Four 2" by WOF (width of fabric) white on black print 

        such as a dot or snowflakes

Outer Border:  Four 5" by WOF black on white print, such as a swirl or scroll
