The key -- from left to right then top to bottom:
flower (the flower is not the "o" in the word flower -- it's simply a flower between a couple of the letters), Andrew, cameras (images of them), Rebecca Kerby, reading (also has open books with ribbon bookmarks sticking out of the binding), Megan, Lisa, Family (the word family), Joanna, love dogs (a heart and dog in each section), cooking, Jessica.
I agree that they are difficult to see the name or design -- except for the cameras. Most of them really do look like interesting snowflake designs. One method we used when looking at the black flakes was to section off the name or design with our hands. We angled our hands to make an open triangle and placed them on either side of the name or design. Remember that one side is right-side-up, and the other side is the mirror image. 8-)
We're glad you like our little quilt.
