How do i achieve this? thanks in advance. hugs cheryl
Cut all your little squares at 3" and the big white squares at 10.5". Put a colored square face down on each corner of the big white blocks and sew diagonally across the corner. Trim off the excess, flip up the face down piece and press. You'll also have little "ears" that you'll need to clip before assembling the rows.
This is a very good scrappy project and leaves lots of nice space in the snowball to show off quilting or embroidery.
