9 Patch And Snowball Quilt
Livro rosa minha irma rosa amiga. Mirrorop sender registrasi gratis. I recently completed a quilt top that was a combination of 9-patch and Snowball blocks. This is the first time that I tried squaring my blocks before sewing into rows. A snowball quilt is comprised of two simple blocks: Directions for nine-patch block: For each nine-patch block, cut the following pieces (¼' seam allowances are included): (9) 2½' squares assorted light and medium/dark fabrics.
Snowballs Block of the Month Snowballs Here are directions for making two different snowball blocks and you can make then whatever size you need them to be. The snowball block is a great block for setting off a variety of nine-patch blocks, but you can use it for other blocks too and even all by itself.
(see below!) What size snowball do you need? That will depend on what you want to put it with. If you want to use the snowball as a joiner block, then the snowball needs to be the same size as the other blocks.
Let's say you are making 12 inch finished (in a quilt) blocks. Then you want your snowball to be 12 inches also, so you would cut a 12 1/2 inch square (12 inches plus 1/2 inch seam allowance.) To determine the size of the smaller snowball corners you would divide the size by the number of blocks wide the other blocks are.
If you are joining the snowball to a nine-patch block you would divide the finished size of 12 by 3, (because the nine-patch block is 3 by 3), which gives you 4 and then add 1/2 for the seam allowance. So a 12 inch finished snowball block would be cut 12 1/2 inches, and the corners would be cut 4 1/2 inches. (Other sizes are listed below.) Sewing the snowball blocks is easy. Place a corner square on each corner of snowball square.
Sew corner to corner through each corner square as shown. (You may mark the wrong side of the dark squares diagonally though the center to make it easier or you can just fold each square in half diagonally and pinch them to mark them in the center.) Cut the excess corners off as shown, leaving a 1/4 inch seam allowance. Press carefully to the dark corners. Snowballs and nine-patches For a plain snowball block in different sizes (IF the joining block is a nine-patch block) For a finished snowball of 3 inches cut your snowball squares 3 1/2 inches and the corner squares1 1/2 inches. For a finished snowball of 4 1/2 inches cut your snowball squares 5 inches and the corner squares 2 inches. For a finished snowball of 6 inches cut your snowball squares 6 1/2 inches and the corner squares 2 1/2 inches. For a finished snowball of 7 1/2 inches cut your snowball squares 8 inches and the corner squares 3 inches.

For a finished snowball of 12 inches cut your snowball squares 12 1/2 inches and the corner squares 4 1/2 inches. For a finished snowball of 15 inches cut your snowball squares 15 1/2 inches and the corner squares 5 1/2 inches.

For a finished snowball of 18 inches cut your snowball squares 18 1/2 inches and the corner squares 6 1/2 inches. Snowballs and Perpetual Motion blocks Sometimes you might want a nine-patch snowball and those corners are a little different. You need to make triangle squares for them, made using squares cut 3/8 inches larger than the solid squares in the nine-patch snowball.

For the 12 inch finished nine-patch snowball block you will need: From the snowball color, cut two five 4 1/2 inch squares and 4 7/8 inch squares (4 1/2 + 3/8 = 4 7/8) From the corner color, cut two 4 7/8 inch squares. (other sizes below) To make the triangle corners put a snowball and corner 4 7/8 inch squares right sides together. Carefully draw a line down the center, corner to corner, diagonally across the square.
