What a great name- the snow sort of being the "opposite" of the Hawaiian print. And it's so pretty! I love it.

I always say I want to make one of these but have never started. Do they have set-in seams?

Oh my goodness! Thank you all for the nice comments! No set in seams, they go together in rows of half hexagons. Really easier than it looks. Maybe this pic will show it a little better.

Yup that's how I do it - fun isn't it? Jenell I just posted a barrage of questions on your 'Introduce Yourself' topic!

And here is the fabric I started out with. It's not the same as the borders.

That is a beautiful fabric! See, I would never have thought of using that with just two colours but it works beautifully - and I LOVE blue and white anyway! Thanks so much for posting the pic!
