This pattern involves a lot ofsnowballing.
It means sewing a small square on the corner of a bigger square from corner to corner.
You will do it in three corners of a 5 colored square.
The last thing you have to do is sew four units together, just like a four-patch.
Watch the video below for full instructions.
For each block, you need 12 pieces of 3 background squares and 4 pieces of 5 colored squares.
Step 2:
Take 3 background squares and fold them in half diagonally to make a crease.
Place the two background squares on opposite corners on top of a 5 colored square.
Sew directly on the lines, trim the corners, and press them open.
Trim the corner, cut the corner, and press it open.
Repeat the steps with the other 3 pieces of 5 colored squares.
Once done, sew the pairs together to make the block.
Be sure to match the center seam.
Trim into a square if needed.
Sew 7 rows with 6 blocks each.
You will use a total of 42 blocks for this quilt.
Mix and match the light and dark colors to make the pattern more interesting.
For the inner border, sew a 2 1/2 background strip all the way around.
The outer border measures 5 1/2.
