This is NOT a pattern with a finished project, but is a "process" oriented instruction with blocks of unspecified sizes. Choose your own size.
Enjoy!!

I'm so happy you posted it for all of us. I've printed it and will surely use it often. I noted how to make a square in a square, but can you advise us how to make a diamond in a square? I need to make a diamond border and although the square in a square looks almost like a diamond, I don't think it will be accepted as a diamond. Thanks in advance. Belles

I'm working on graphics/instructions for this for you. Check back Wednesday night or Thursday. :D
As a hint, the snowballing shape is like a kite rather than a square. I usually have to play around with it a bit when I need one like this, folding a piece of paper and trimming it.
