I'm not 100% positive but I think you call it snowballing the corners ??? Hopefully, someone else can confirm that.

Great job! She's definitely motivated. Do they all new owners waiting?

Hopefully I will soon get my new longarm. (Traded in my old one for one that will hopefully better suit me.)

We call the first one, " Mom Would Be Proud." The second is "Electric Slime." The third one is "Happy Happy Happy."

All three are wonderful, but i love happy happy happy. The colors jump out at me. What long arm did you get and which one did you replace? I ask because my handy quilter fusion 24 was delivered and installed this afternoon, tomorrow I will have my first hands on play date. It is much more than what I was looking for but the price was right so why not go for the best. Have fun playing with your new toy.....

It looks like it was done similar to one I made from Jenny Doan on MSQC. Once the blocks are done, it looks like she snowballed a small red square onto the same corner (bottom right) of each block. When the four blocks are assembled, you just match up the red snowballs and you get a red square. It also assures that your blocks all spin in the same direction.

The main block looks similar to the MSQC tutorial for the 3 Dudes quilt. I think I like this version much better. Absolutely stunning!

I wish my sister was here quilting along with me. Of course she and I probably would spend more time laughing than quilting.

Love all three of these!
