My very favorite part of cutting out a quilt is cutting out the pattern. Well, I also love the very last stitch. Grab your templates and lets get started!

Do yourself a favor today and put in a shiny new blade for the cutting of this. Trust me. There is a lot to cut and a sharp blade will make this job more enjoyable.

Let's talk centers.  Measure a few of your recently cut petals against the center square.  As you can see from the photo my petals are a tiny bit bigger then the template.  This is where I set the template aside and mark my ruler with washi tape equal to the width of the petal.  Making a square.  

Washi tape.  Why?  Here is my biggest tip for you!!  First, it keeps my eyes from going crazy trying to measure for each of the 42 squares.  Second, it is a stop for my fabric.  Stay with me here...  Place two layers of washi tape exactly on top of each other.  So that is four total.  

Take a piece of fabric that you will be using to cut a center square from.  Trim one corner to 90 degrees.
Next, flip your ruler upside down.  I know, things are getting crazy around here!  Slide your ruler over the fabric until it bumps your tape.  Trim off the remaining two sides.  Repeat 41 more times!  

Thanks for joining along in this, the most spectacular snowball fight!
First of all, have your gathered your fabric supplies? To make this 60" x 70" quilt top you will need: 
4 yards or a lot of scraps that are at least 6 inches wide
2 1/2 yards of light or low volume fabric

Here is the template for a Flowering Snowball block.  

After printing out the template, I like to adhere them to card stock or book board using a glue stick.  If you purchased the kit, book board is included.  Otherwise, you can use items such as a cereal box or used priority mail flat rate envelope.  If you feel your card stock is too thin, glueing two pieces together works great.  

Using your scissors for paper (not your fabric ones!) roughly cut out the two large pattern pieces A & B.  Just set aside the square center piece for now.  Glue the two pattern pieces to your card stock.  

You can use a scissors or rotary cutter to cut the pattern piece out.  I have a spare rotary cutter that I keep a dull blade on for cutting paper and non-fabric items.  You can use a scissors if you prefer.  

Repeat for the second piece and voila, you have yourself one fine set of templates!
