As I continue to clean and dig I keep coming across old projects. Today it was this little tin of 1-1/2″ squares with a snowball block on top. With a square in the middle. I think it was leftovers from an old project of Daughter’s.
But, the more I looked at it I thought, “That would make a really attractive scrappy block.”
So, I tried one. Somehow in my mind the scale was off (seam allowances) and I turned it the wrong way. Whoops! I don’t like this look nearly as much.
Here is the second try. Much more successful.
Looking at it beside the inspiration piece, you can start to see how it will look. I think I like it! Let’s call it Happy Accident.

I really like this block. Happy accidents are the best!
YES! Love it! I love it when things come together in that organic way.
Oh, yes, I like it a lot with the diagonal look. Great idea!
You can make this your new project for squares–I used 2″. Really any size would work. You just have to change up the math. Tutorial coming soon.
I would greatly appreciate a tutorial. My brains are so full these days.
It is good to get the inspiration and instructions from you!
This is an awesome block! I want to make some!
A very cute little block!
I have a lot of scraps. And a lot of 1 1/2″ wide strips. You have given me another idea. Love it. Your too clever girl. This will be 27 on my list to do. Sigh!! Yes I keep a list of all I want to do. This will make a great quilt for the Indian tribe here in Maine. We try to do a few each year for them.
Ohhhhh this is very cute. Wowie.
With all of these bright colors this could be a very cute little quiltie
Thank you so much for sharing this!
