Making an ornament blockSTEP 1:

Cut one main fabric square (Christmas fabric) measuring 9.5” square and four background squares (white fabric) measuring 3.5” square. Cut one 2” x 3” piece of fabric from a silver or gold piece of fabric (will look like the ornament hanger). Also cut two additional pieces, 2” x 3 ¾” of white fabric.

STEP 2:

Use a pencil and ruler to draw a diagonal line on all four background squares (or use a line you’ve drawn on your machine).

STEP 3:

Place the background squares on each of the four corners of the main fabric square. Pin in place as shown.

STEP 4:

Sew across each of the four pencil lines, backstitching at the beginning and end of each seam.

STEP 5:

Trim excess fabric ¼” away from seams.

STEP 6:

Press background fabric away from main fabric, and voila! A snowball block that measures 9.5”.


STEP 7:

Sew the 2” x 3” gold or silver piece in the middle of the two 2” x 3 ¾” white pieces of fabric making a 9.5” long strip that you will attach to the top of the snowball block (see photo).
