As I might have mentioned, I am planning to semi-retire at the end of the summer. Semi--since I am going to teach one class per semester---NO clinical. In preparation for all this free time I will hopefully have, I am purchasing additional tools.
I had seen the "Flowing Snowball" Quilt Along. I thought I had purchased the templates, but even though I looked everywhere in my "studio" for it, I couldn't find it. I assumed I had "intended" to purchase it, but for some reason had not. I was looking on-line at the finished quilt and came across the latest GO! die --- the "Flowing Snowball"!!!! I received a gift card to Joann's and so went onto their web site and sure enough, it was there---so out came the cards and my new die arrived today! I put everything aside and cut one sample block!
It works perfectly---and although I did have to do a little "frogging", it was because I didn't read the directions. The pieces go together without any difficulty even with the curve! This is going to be a quilt I make this year! I think I may just take a day and cut the pieces out and put them together at my own pace. The block is 12" inches finished---perfect for me! Now watch me find the templates!

Now I'm going to have to get one! Looks good; wouldn't take many to make a good size quilt, would it?
