It looks fiddly (though you probably wouldn't guess there are 80 pieces - it surprised me when I added it up!) but it's a 16-in block, so it builds up reasonably quickly.

Snowflakes and stars
Here's one of the blocks I've been working on. I'm managing to use two snowflake prints in this quilt; the white background and the cream.

I love this! Where did you get the pattern?
ReplyDeleteoh so very gorgeous!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnother after the pattern!
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time getting the background corner squares to sit totally flat. I think I might either slightly stretch the bias seams as I sew, or otherwise my finished measurements for the diamonds are slightly out. Looks like foundations would solve my problems.
I'd love to have a go at that block if you'd like to share it.
I wondered what would appear from your previous post, I just love foundation piecing, that's a very clever way to get around the inset corners.
ReplyDeleteI remember the star now, love it, The cream and white is delish!
ReplyDeletei love snowflakes and stars, and the color turquoise, so this one is at the top of my list for loving it completely!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is very pretty, and it looks so nice in these colours.
ReplyDeleteThe star is gorgeous, I love it! Looking forawrd to seeing your other adaptations. Another one who would love the pattern .... and the skills to do it! LOL!
ReplyDeleteCan you share where you got your pattern please?
