Floral Snowball Quilt Pattern
Snowball quilt blocks are a breeze to make, especially when you use quick piecing methods to assemble them. That's how we'll put together these pretty floral Snowballs.A floral fabric is used in the center, open area of each Snowball block. Triangles in block corners are black to contrast with the florals. The instructions assume you will make a scrappy floral Snowball quilt from a variety of fabrics, but on page 3 you'll find yardages for a baby quilt that uses a single floral.
The small scale of the block is suitable for any quilt you want to make, from a wallhanging to a baby quilt to a bed cover.
The quilt is illustrated without sashing, but narrow strips would enhance the contrast between the assortment of floral fabrics.
Finished Block Size 6" x 6"
Remember that finished dimensions refer to the size a block will be after it is sewn into a quilt. The unfinished size (the size your block should be immediately after its assembly) is 6-1/2" x 6-1/2".
For Each Block
- One 6-1/2" x 6-1/2" square of a floral fabric. Fabric scale should be consistent with the size of the square -- not a small-scale floral that gets lost in the shuffle, but not a huge floral that would appear chopped-up in the finished block.
- Four 2-1/4" x 2-1/4" black squares.
