Re: Help with measurements.....
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

Re: Help with measurements.....
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....
