Whimsical, warm, and wildly popular — Nordic Gnome started as a beloved block in the 2021 Quiltmas QAL and received so much love it became a full pattern. Inspired by the charming gnomes found in European Christmas and holiday markets, this design brings a joyful, storybook quality to any quilt or table.
Despite its detailed look, Nordic Gnome is block-based and beginner-friendly, working beautifully with fat quarters or 10" precuts (layer cakes). And while it shines at the holidays, it's just as delightful year-round.
