Block 5 is brought to us by Sherry Shish Powered by Quilting. It wouldn't be a Christmas quilt without a snowman, so this is exactly what Sherry has designed for us!
This is a pieced block with a tiny piece of applique and embroidery features....here we go!
Download the pattern from Sherry's site and follow the cutting list to make sure you have all the pieces ready.
The instructions are excellent for beginners and the more experienced alike. It was lovely to see the snowman take shape from the outset.
Seeing the snowman under construction is very satisfying.
After putting together the three middle sections and adding the sides he's all ready to add some character.
Back stitch eyes and twig arms and he's good to go!
Finshed! I'm really happy with this block. It was super easy to put together thanks to Sherry's instructions and I love the expression on his face, he's super cute!
