WHW RS Sampler Quilt Class: Block 8: Snowball (Corner Square Triangles/Stitch and Flip Triangles)

We're getting closer!  Only two more pieced blocks and then we are on to the bonus blocks.  Yay!

Up next is the snowball block:

Snowball blocks are super easy.  You just start with a square, then sew little triangles onto all the corners.

Here are some quilts made with snowball blocks:

This post includes an extra tip for turning those normally wasted triangles into HSTs with on quick, easy extra step:

Check out these fruit quilts made with the same technique.  Cute, huh?

And for our alternate blocks this week, look what you can do when you only add the stitch and flip triangles to 1, 2 or 3 sides, or change the size of the triangles:

Finish Along List: Quarter 3

It's time to make another list of goals for a new quarter!  It's kind of amazing how my list of projects can change from one quarter to another.  Some things get carried over, some things get dropped completely, and other things get pulled from the depths to be renewed once again.

Last quarter, I was able to finish 4 out of 13 things on last quarter's list.  Yikes!  They were big things, though, so I'm okay with that.

Here are the current projects on my radar.  Some of them are not likely to be finished, but they are here anyway so that I don't forget about them.  ;)

1.   Do.Good Stitches Quilt.  It's basted now and waiting for quilting.  I'm thinking random straight lines over the whole thing.

2.  Puff quilt for sister-in-law.  Baby is coming in September!  This is the fabric she picked from my healthy stash of charm packs.  :)

3.  ABC I-Spy quilt.  GUYS.  This quilt is going to be SO FUN.  I won some novelty scraps from Sweetfeetstitches on IG, then promptly filled in a few gaps with a few purchases of my own.  I'm so excited for this one.

4.   Swoon Sixteen in Blushing. Everything is all cut, ready for a piecing party.  Taking this one to the cabin with me this week for some much needed "non commitment/deadline" sewing.  :)

5.  Kaleidoscope in The Sweet Life (see #5).

6.  Moda All-Star Row quilt.  Needs basting/quilting/binding.

7.  Growth Chart for Noah.  It's looking like this will be a Christmas present now that his birthday is past...

8.  Baby quilt (or puff quilt) using either one of my charm packs (Wishes, Noteworthy, Summerfest!, Hello Friend, Bump to Baby, or Just my Type - okay, I'm addicted to charm packs...)

9.   Eight Rummy mats (gotta be ready for the Christmas rush in my shop) - I've even got about 12 of them cut and fused. 

10.  New samples of at least 6 of my quiet books for the shop.  I bought some new (higher quality) felt and I'm dying to test it out.

11.  More bibs.  :)  These are great for whenever I need a quick fix and I have a few layer cakes set aside for some cute bibs. (Dream and a Wish by Riley Blake and Suprise by Riley Blake)

12.  Apron for myself.  This one is very low on the list because I never seem to find the time for it, but dang it - I'm NOT taking it off!

Also, I'll be working on my WHWRS Sampler Quilt for my class throughout the quarter, but don't plan to finish it until next quarter.  It's going to be epic!

Thanks for reading!
