Snowball block – Floracotta quilt pattern

How to make a snowball block

Snowball is the next block in the Floracotta QAL.

The Snowball quilt block is a versatile and visually appealing design that is loved by quilters, especially those who are new to the craft.

It has a long quilting history and is considered a traditional pattern.

The block creates the illusion of circles when viewed from a distance by attaching triangles to a large square using the half-square triangle technique.

Even though it is easy to construct, the Snowball block adds depth and dimension to quilts, making it a favored choice for quilters of all experience levels.

For detailed instructions, please refer to the Floracotta quilt pattern on page 4.
