If you put a churn dash block (easy to piece) next to a snow ball block and piece it every other like that, you will get great secondary pattern and it goes fast with making HST 2 at a time and sewing the snowball corners on as squares and folding back. Sketch it out if you like. It looks great.
Thanks, that sounds pretty.
Sorry, I forgot to add that inside the snowball block you can use a big piece of focus fabric if you want. 12 inch goes so quick. Someone asked about what a churn dash block is...it is also called Hole in the Barn Door. I pounded out a top in one day for a raffle. I assume you know about making 2 HST at once by adding 7/8 in to the finished size, sewing 1/4 inch away on both sides from the diagonal of the block, cut apart and voila...2 HST from 2 sq, RST? Like I said, it goes fast.
Yes, I know how to do the 2 HST and the 4 HST. They are so easy to make. Thanks for all your ideas. Mary
P.S. There is a tute on how to do the 4 HST. Very simple.
