I made this same quilt and did not have your problem....It was a mess from the start with the wrong template that did not make the points so I used Marti Mitchell Kite template for the center and quilt sense Kaleidoscope triangle ruler and I am square surprising.....sending it out to the quilter now....but I did buy the new template from MSQ so now I have the wrong and right one.....I even sent out to Australia for templates where the snowball was one piece but it was so small I would be still working on it.....
