I recently traveled to some very warm areas recently to visit family (North Carolina I’m looking at you!). That is likely the very reason why I started thinking about making a snowball block quilt. This is one of those blocks that’s super easy to make, and endlessly customizable. The corner block colors can be all the same, or all different. Its fun to see how the quilt changes. Its also a great project to keep set up by the sewing machine, at the ready for any time I have an extra half an hour (like while I’m waiting for computer problems to be resolved…).

Here’s a Day of the Dead Toile quilt I made only using the snowball block (I was reminded of the colors of candy corns when I was pulling solids for the corners). Its just a snowball block, repeated throughout the quilt.

I have a new, quick tutorial up on my YouTube Channel. Give it a try!
