Tartan, you did a great job at recreating it. Looks like you are on your way. I don't think you need a pattern at all. Looking forward to seeing the end result. If you are snowballing the corners, you will have a lot of little bitty HST's to put in your border. That would be really cool.

Tartan I really like the way your block looks. It may just be an illusion but in April's pattern it looks like the "snowballs" are huge compared to the center white square. I did smile when I read your comment about 10 3/4" block being small. I rarely make blocks even 8" haha! Mine are usually between 3"&6". I say keep going with what you have and add more blocks to get the size you want. I would love to see your finished quilt!
I saw a picture of blocks of this pattern and I have followed links to the company and designer but I can't find the pattern. It was supposed to be by Prairie Grass Patterns but I didn't find it there. I drafted my own octagon of 3-1/2 inch squares but it isn't perfect and a little small for a block at 10-3/4 inches. I can try drafting it from a 4 inch square and see if that ends up 12-1/2 but it still won't be perfect. I haven't decided if I want to bother drafting again or continue to search for the pattern.
