just now realized you would use purple to snowball, I calculated with a different colour. Just add the blue yardage to the purple. (3 1/4yds ?)
Of course this does not include any border fabrics.

hope I have helped [ATTACH=CONFIG]584610[/ATTACH]
Yes, that is what I will make and use shades of gray fabrics. I have gone to JoAnn's and now have 4 yards of each shade, just to make sure I have enough. Am going to use my Accuquilt die to cut the star shapes and rotary cut the strips. Will make the stars first and make the snowball blocks to match them.
My blocks will be 12" finished and found I am making a King size quilt, the larger blocks will look nice on that size.
Thank you for the drawing and yardage information.
I feel I do not need the book at this point as it is a simple quilt, after one knows the total yardage needed.
Now to start my very large project.
Amazon has the book but really might not be helpful for making 12" finished blocks.

Thank you everyone
