It’s so funny, we get so used to terms like snowball. And then we’re going to go down here to the bottom side and do it as well.
But you’ll want to push back that other piece as you add this next one. Now this is a four inch piece and our corner pieces are two inches so you can actually lay the other one right on there. So we’re going to put four of these on here.I’m just going to sew straight down this side. That works very well on this because we’re just following right down that center line. You can also use your diagonal stitch tape if you want to. And you can draw the line, you know, whatever you want to do. And we’re going to put four of these on the outside corners and snowball these corners like that. And we’re going to come over here to the sewing machine and what I’m going to do, you can iron the line, you can fingerpress the line, that’s what I’m going to do, match up my corners, run my nails along that edge. We’re going to snowball all four of these corners. So the first thing we’re going to do is we’re going to have to cut some background squares and we’re going to cut some two inch squares for our corners up here. And I’m just going to make one cut like this and this is, these are the pieces that we need to make this block. Lay my ruler on here, here’s my six inch line. So I’m going to come right over here and cut six inches like this. And because they’re ten inches, it’s going to leave us with a six and a four. We’re going to cut a six inch piece off of this. So this one right here, we’re going to stack these two strips right here. And these are the pieces we need for our block. Those are all those little two inch pieces. We’re just going to set it over here because you’ll notice, look at this first little border out here. So now what we’re going to do is we’re going to take one of these and set it aside. There we go, oop, so I lied there is this waste right here. So we’re cutting two and you can stack these up and do several at a time if you want. And then all of our next cuts are going to be two inch pieces. And we’re going to lay our ruler on here and cut a four inch piece like this. Our first cut is our middle section and it’s four inches. So what we’re going to do is start with a layer cake and I’m going to show you how I cut it.
For your outer border, a nice big six inch border, you’re going to need 1 ¼ yards and for the backing you’re going to need 4 ¾ yards or 2 ½ yards of a 108 wide back. For your background, you’re going to need 3 ¼ yards and this includes your inner and middle borders.
So to make this quilt, you’re going to need one package of ten inch squares and we have used Songbook by Fancy That for Moda designs. Super easy to make and zero waste on this project. Isn’t this great? It’s a sort of a squashed blossom, blooming kind of Southwest feel to it. Hi everybody, it’s Jenny from the Missouri Star Quilt Company.
