In particular the first two (same pattern, different source).
WOW what a difference in price between the e-pattern and hardcopy.
I am SO tempted!!!
Having just finished an embroidered snowman quilt, do I really want/need another?

Even though I am from the mitten state, we haven't had a good blizzard in a couple of years. Yes, I miss a good lock you in the house for three days with soup and a quilt project kind of blizzard sounds delightful to me.

problem for waiting for a three day blizzard here in northern minnesota....is that it usually happens during the very short daylight hours days and the power goes out too. I had a treadle down in the basement I always dreamed of getting fixed up so I could treadle away during a blizzard....both getting a quilt done and keeping warm at the same time. Wonder how hot my ancestors got while motoring that treadle?

That is what I thought Peckish. It has been snowing here for 3 days and getting more snow today and a blizzard quilt is what I thought would be what quilters make while stuck inside the house with bad weather outside

Hopefully this link will work for you. It is for a post from Eugene Modern Quilt Guild December 2020 meeting. You will have to scroll wayyyy down to the bottom two twin sized quilts. They are blue, white, grey and a touch of green. The link to the pattern is above the 1st quilt, and is the same pattern that was linked in your previous threads about this quilt.
Hope this helps! It really could be a cute, quick way to use scraps and make a quilt. It could also be made larger, if you wanted to keep going.

PS - Assuming that this is the quilt you are looking for - I found the "pattern", such as it is, to be interesting. It explains that pioneer women called these utilitarian quilts "blizzard quilts" as they were done up quickly with what they had on hand as blizzard season approached.
Also interesting was the note at the bottom of the instructions, saying that the pattern was from a list serve group called Quiltopia. Anyone remember that? From the very early days of internet, I think - my memory of it is very vague.
