Is there a name for this method?

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. Georgia |
I think the oringal author of the technique called it the 5 minute block and she has YouTube videos.

Annette Orneales has patterns based on this technique called pealed back

This method is used in the cathedral window patterns.

i don't know the exact name, but the previous names all sound good. Love your ship in a bottle.

I can't help with the name, but it's a cool technique! Drunkard's Path, or Tea Leaf quilts would be a good use for it.

You take a square and fold on diagonal, place where you want in a corner, after you have sewn to another square, etc. fold back the square on the bias. Stitch down.
