LOL! Those cut-off corners were a mistake. I don't have a pattern, and it simply didn't occur to me that sewing the blocks this way would cut off the corners. But in the end, I really like the effect of it. I like that they're called "snowball corners." That's perfect for the theme of this quilt.
Thanks so much for your idea. I had thought about doing the elementary school type snowflake, but I'm just not very good at it. I played around with it but so far don't like anything I came up with. Maybe I need to play some more.
