Sneeuwklokjes II quiltpatroon van Jenice Belling

I love how quickly this pattern comes together with those square-in-square blocks framing the panel perfectly. Even as a beginner quilter, I had no trouble following the steps and my finished top looks just like the picture.

The instructions were so clear that I had the whole top pieced in one afternoon—those square-in-square units are the perfect filler for showing off a fussy-cut fabric. I love that both block sizes use the same technique, so there's zero confusion once you get rolling.

This pattern makes the nostalgic panel the star while the square-in-square blocks add just the right amount of modern interest. I finished the top in a weekend thanks to the simple border instructions.
