that is very close KatieMar, but it has a couple of extra rows. Thanks for the info, though

I think you are right KatieMar!
Great Sherlock Holmes'ing!!!!
I don't think there are any extra rows, as QuiltnNan suggests.
Only that the alternate blocks are done in reverse colour/fabric placement.
Whereas Quilterdale's photo has every block (group of four smaller blocks) the same
and when they come together, that incredible secondary pattern shows up.
Does anyone agree with me?

Thank-you Nan for the visual for making the elongated block.
I have a question and perhaps someone could help figure this for me, if you wanted the block to finish at 8". What would I make each rectangle and then what would the snowball's be? I'm so pattern dependent what comes easily for other's is most challenging to me.

Not that you cannot do it ...
... but for me, I would go for something that is easier for me when measuring/cutting.
Anything divisible 3 would work .... some size examples
For each of the 1/4 sections as per the graphics given earlier,
If the strips were cut at 1-1/2" and finish at one inch,
then each of their lengths would be cut at 3-1/2" (3" finish)
Your 1/4 section would finish at 3" square and four together would mean a 6" square.
Starting with 2" strips finish at 1-1/2" ... length would be 5" and finish at 4-1/2"
1/4 section block would finish at 4-1/2" square and the group of four finish at 9" square.
2-1/2" strips finish at 2" ...... length would be 6-1/2" finish at 6"
1/4 sections are 6" squares finished .... foursomes .... 12" squares finished
At least I think I have the math correct on these ....
........ if not, I know someone will jump quickly and correct it all!
