I ran the numbers and they are right as far as I can see - My suggestion is that you mark the print 2 1/2 sg for the corner of the snowball block with a pencil line right down the center and make sure that you sew on that line. I would also double check your 1/4 inch seam. You may have to adjust it to fit that diagonal line until they meet. A little less or a little more.
It is a great quilt - I love quilts that fool the eye in what the block really is. Are you doing it in the reproduction colors?
Hope you solve the problem

Thanks, Jana....I think my problem might be in my 1/4 inch seams, I hope so....I'm using baby prints and my plans are to take the snowball blocks to a shower and have them signed and then have the quilt done when the baby arrives...I'm off to tackle those seams...Thanks again....
