    I'm not 100% positive but I think you call it snowballing the corners ??? Hopefully, someone else can confirm that.

Hopefully I will soon get my new longarm. (Traded in my old one for one that will hopefully better suit me.)

    We call the first one, " Mom Would Be Proud." The second is "Electric Slime." The third one is "Happy Happy Happy."
    All three are wonderful, but i love happy happy happy. The colors jump out at me. What long arm did you get and which one did you replace? I ask because my handy quilter fusion 24 was delivered and installed this afternoon, tomorrow I will have my first hands on play date. It is much more than what I was looking for but the price was right so why not go for the best. Have fun playing with your new toy.....

    I know this quilt pattern as twisted sister, it is a really fun to make. I'm talking about the first quilt.

    It looks like it was done similar to one I made from Jenny Doan on MSQC. Once the blocks are done, it looks like she snowballed a small red square onto the same corner (bottom right) of each block. When the four blocks are assembled, you just match up the red snowballs and you get a red square. It also assures that your blocks all spin in the same direction.

    The main block looks similar to the MSQC tutorial for the 3 Dudes quilt. I think I like this version much better. Absolutely stunning!

    I wish my sister was here quilting along with me. Of course she and I probably would spend more time laughing than quilting.

    Love all three of these!
