This is the second block in the Mysteries Down Under quilt.
By the way, the blocks aren’t assembled in order. So as you make them, put them away in a safe place until all of them are done.
Snowball is a classic block and it’s perfect for beginners. Check the colour below if you’re using the suggested palette.

My book Turnabout Patchwork
“Turnabout Patchwork. Simple quilts with a twist” is all about playing with blocks – making a block, slicing it up, and turning or repositioning the pieces to make a completely different block (sometimes two smaller blocks) to yield endless quilt tops.
Buy individual chapters of my book
Now that my publisher is going out of business I have bought the rights to publish my book. Now you can download individual chapters. Each digital download is a bundle with 4 quilt patterns in it.
As well as the instructions and fabric needs to make the blocks you’ll find a section on quiltmaking basics at the end of the pattern that discusses:
- Tools
- Squaring up blocks
- Borders
- Assembly and quilting
- Binding

Not sure if my post to fb made it to your fb page so attaching here.
I’m using my daughter’s bridesmaid dresses. Its a bit tricky using satin but am using the lightest of stabiliser to hold the satin.
Looking forward to sewing along with you. Will be on the road travelling in about 3 weeks time but will take my sewing gear with me (including my machine) so I can keep up with the mystery!!!

What a great idea. It’ll be a bit of a challenge using satin. I’d love to see it😊
