The snowman was just a page from a coloring book that I found on line. The block is a simple 12-1/2 block unfinished, cut center strip 7-1/2 x 12-1/2 cut 2 side strips of same fabric at 3 x 7-1/2 and cut 4 corner blocks at 3" square and sew together. It makes a great background for almost any applique on a 12-1/2 inch block.
