Making the Snowball Blocks

  1. Draw a diagonal line on the reverse side of each 2-1/2" square reserved for Snowball blocks.

  2. Place a marked square right side down at the corner of a Snowball background square, aligning edges carefully. Sew a seam on the marked line. Repeat, sewing squares to remaining corners.

  3. Press the seams flat, just as they were sewn. Use scissors or rotary cutting equipment to trim back the excess layers at Snowball corners, leaving about 1/4" for a seam allowance.

  4. Press the seam allowances away from the corners.

  5. Make three more Snowball blocks.
