This snowflake applique pattern was inspired by an old quilt pictured below. It pattern may also be turned into a floral wreath pattern by adding
small buds to the tips of the design. Remember to add a seam allowance to the pattern of 1/8
inch before cutting into your fabric.
Origin of the Pattern's Name: The snowflake is often a
traditional seasonal image/motif used around the Christmas period,
especially in Europe and the United States, representing the traditional
White Christmas.
During this period it is quite popular to make paper snowflakes by
folding a piece of paper several times, cutting out a pattern with
scissors and then unfolding it. Snowflakes have also been incorporated
into many 20th century American Quilts by a wide variety of people who
celebrate winter holidays or who just enjoy the infinite design
potential in snowflake motifs.
