I want to make a square look rounded. To me it is a variation on the snowball block. You take your small corner square, fold it in half on the diagional, place it on a corner of the block and sew the raw edges to the block using less than a quarter inch seam. Then once the quilt block is attached to other blocks, you turn the folded bias edge of that corner square back and topstitch it down (like a cathedral window).

I am trying to decide what size corner squares to use, and wanted to google for ideas, but I can not find anything. I have tried searching for folded corners, rounded corners. I did find one site calling them cheater curves, but no tips on creating them.

These pictures are from a block I used it on before. I would appreciate any info anyone has on this method.
