I am having a lot of fun making my snowball blocks for my 'wintery' quilt. Spring seems to have sprung here and it is no longer winter, but I SHALL complete this quilt before the season changes again!
I love the fact that a simpe technique can look so good and can't wait to see the blocks joined up. You may recall that I'm using a layer cake for this quilt top from the Moda 'Sherbet Pips' range. I've trimmed each 10" square down to 9.5" and the corner triangles are made from 3.5" squares. The little squares are placed in each corner, right sides together, of the big 9.5" square and then sewn on the diagonal to form the corner triangles - the excess fabric is trimmed, leaving a quarter inch seam and the little scraps find a happy home in the scrap basket! The spotty red fabric is from the 'Teatime' range by Makower.
I've managed quite a bit of sewing in the evenings of late so predict good progress with this quilt top this week - I also have been busy with something else which will be unveiled once photographed!
