This week’s design challenge at Spoonflower is Winter Holiday Patchwork. You’d think this would have come naturally to me given how many women in my family are quilters – yet I struggled. Sometimes you just get a creative block. I had wanted to do a design based on the 12 days of Christmas and after much work on that idea, I abandoned it because it just wasn’t coming together. Instead, I ended up with the below design that focuses on a Winter Solstice celebration. Looking at the other entries, now that voting has begun, I can see I was a bit off on my interpretation. Ah well. I still really like how it turned out and I did a fun mini collection around it in case anyone actually wants to build a quilt with this design. I’ve called it Lapland Solstice and the collection is for sale now on Spoonflower.
