The sizr of your thread can effect the outcome. Since I switched to Aurifil I rarely use a scant 1/4 inch.
What a pretty block! I've been thinking about doing a snowball quilt and thanks to Jan's posting I feel more prepared. Thanks!
A fabric stash is always missing that one fabric needed to finish the quilt on which you're working.
be sure to sew a little[maybe 2 threads]to the right of the exact corner.this will allow for the thickness of your sewing thread and the thickness of the fabric.they come out more exact this way.then re-sew 3/8 from right of that line.trim this little triangle off,and you have another triangle to use for another project.already sewn.[ala....bonnie hunter.]

That's how I do it, too
For a beginner looks like you are doing awesome, so keep it up !! Be sure to post a picture of the finished product, I for one would love to see it as I am sure many others would as well!

Quite lovely, you did a great job!
Anytime I sew a HST I sew a thread or so to the right of my line. If I follow the line exactly I always have to rip and resew. You block looks great.

I really like that block, I don't think I have seen it before.
