Snowflake block.....because I don't know the name!

I saw this block while looking for ideas for blocks to add to a medallion center block. Couldn't locate the "official" block, so I sketched it and here it is! The center pinwheel is Fairy Frost. Could probably use a bit more contrast between the medium and the dark blues. The block is 12"....that's a lot of little squares! If anyone can suggest an easier method of construction, I am all ears! :)

I don't know that I would change a thing! Pretty and very nice piecing you did on it!

That is a gorgeous block.

Your snow flake is very pretty - you said it is a lot of little pieces, are you making 1/2 sq. triangles by sewing the two squares together and then cutting those in half or are you making all triangles and sewing those together?
You probably do need the center to be a bit darker. The picture can be deceptive, what I would do is put it up and walk across the room, if you still have the desired effect then the colors you are using are perfect and I wouldn't change a thing. If you cannot see the center pinwheel you may want to change the color. |
Lovely snowflake no matter how much work it was!

It's beautiful. Can't see changing the colors.
