The second quilt-along block for the snowflake quilt is done. I had a little help this time. Buttercup was very curious about what was going on.
Finished block.
The first two blocks (of 13).
I wondered if there would be enough contrast between the lighter snowflake fabric and the white, but it works fine.
Here’s a sewing tip. When I have a piece of solid fabric which looks the same from both sides, I always put a pin on the right side before I wash it, and keep it on the fabric as I cut it as a reminder of which side is the "right" side. Though I can usually tell by looking at a selvage which is the right side and the wrong side, if the selvages have been cut off, the pin is particularly helpful.
This piece of fabric has been in my stash in the attic for more than 12 years. It went up there when we moved into this house and it’s been there waiting for me ever since. Today, when I needed it for the snowflake quilt top, there was the pin, telling me which side was the right side. Love it.
Happy sewing! ~~Rhonda

Ahhh! Beautiful quilting! How fun! I really like this pattern … very homey! Between you and my sister … my appetite for sewing is being whetted! I intend to join her quilt group this month. We will be going to Tennesee this summer to a quilt show in Nashville.
