Wouldn't the corners that you are cutting on the diagonal be smaller than the uncut corners because you are taking out 2 (1/4") seams? I think those corner pieces should be larger to compensate for the diagonal cuts.

I have been sitting her reading and looking and wondering if I will ever quilt as good as you all.

Is it just me ...but i think i'd like that quilt more w/ fewer fabrics...like maybe do 2 sets of snowball blocks (for a total of 4 fabrics) and just alternate em? and do you think if you used shades of purple and did that it would look sort of like pansy flowers??

That's what I see. The snowballs are divided in half instead of whole and the corners added, some are whole some are half squares.

I can't help with a pattern name, but the quilts in that series very wonderful. Thank you for the link.

I, too, am amazed by the wealth of knowledge among the quilters on this site!

I don't know the name of the pattern either, but it looks to me like you sew rectangles of fabric (example 4 1/2" x 2 1/2")together alternating light and dark, then cut cross hatch style to achieve the block then put the squares back together in the pattern desired. Thank you for the link, this will be another one to add to my bucket list.

I've got to hand it to Jan in VA *applause* I went back to look at the pattern again, I think I will make this for my new grand-niece, with the right colors it should resemble a bumble bee.

Thanks to everyone who has posted. Jan as always you amaze me with your talents and anyone fortunate enough to have you for a teacher is certainly blessed! I loved looking at all the Iron Quilter entries and I'm so glad that many of you were able to look at all the entries too.

What a wonderful group of 'sharing and caring' people frequent this board. I'm a self-taught quilter much of it by this board and I'm still learning more and more by being a member here.
