MTS, Why do you leave the corner of the base square on? Does it help in any way (I have only made one Snowball quilt and that was awhile ago).

there's a chart on about.com

If you are alternating them with a nine patch I woul dmake the corner squares the same size as the nine patch squares. Thats just me. You can do what you think looks good for you - no rules.

Caution: the larger the corner triangles the less snow 'ball' look.
