Woot! well I have struggled and ripped out and gave up on the snowflake... went ahead and made February and March blocks.... But... I was not giving up on Janurary, sooooooo I looked over the pattern directions and still felt it just is too small to work with lol.. so I decided to cut the blues lt, and dk but not cut them twice diagonally. Doing so, I sewed the blues together right sides together down the center of the triangle and then cut the 1/4" walla I had the shape and sewn.. then sewed it to the white triangle. Wow, am I happy to say I have ONE made :) and it is just fine in my eyes.. (beginner here) Here is a picture of it!
