Half Snowball Top (aka Ribbon Candy)

Half Snowball Quilt Top
When set like this I call the top Ribbon Candy

42 x 60

I've been going through a box of miscellaneous baggies of things folks have sent me. I ran across a baggie with a lot of repeats of some 6.5 inch squares. They were mostly in green, brown, light blue and brown.   There weren't quite enough squares for a child sized comfort quilt so I added in some squares of brown with white circles, the flowers on light blue and the hopping rabbits and other animals on the green in the fourth column. 

The Snowball corners are in the same colors -- 2.5 inch squares cut from scraps. 

After making this one I went through my 5 inch squares and gathered enough for a similar quilt and then I went through my 5.5 inch squares and gathered enough for a similar quilt. Now I just need to cut corners!

And sew on...

CELEBRATE! (my word of the year)

Dec. 15 - Finished a book! Chancing Your Arm by Jean Grainger. A Mags Munroe Story Book 5.  It's a cozy mystery!

The ribbons are such fun and like the candy they come in different lengths. What a great way to use up these miscellaneous prints.

Wow! Two posts in one day. I like how the snowballs are turning out. I like the look, but hate snowballing the corners. I just don't like sew and flips. I am proud of you for doing all of those.
