The Flowering Snowball has recently gained popularity in the world of quilting. Where it began, we're not sure. While on the path to finding its origin, we stumbled upon a block of similar construction called a Royal Cross. That block inspired us to get creative and provide some additional markings to our Flowering Snowball templates so that you can create more than the typical Flowering Snowball.
We have named the block which uses each and every line from the template set, Exploding Flowering Snowball. There are numerous other blocks that can be created and we've had a fun time coming up with examples. Since these are all new blocks, we don't have names for all of them yet.
