I suggest laying out the pieces on a design board to keep everything straight. The snowman is pieced in sections starting with the top hat, the face, the scarf, and then the body. The pattern has the cutting instructions for the block as well as the other requirements to make the exact block as I created. The pattern is $5 and now has instructions for a 12", 18", and 24" block! Click the button below to download the pattern. Measure twice, cut once! Also, if you have issues sewing a 1/4" seam, make sure you check your seam allowances! If you need instructions on testing seams, check out this post. However, be warned there are lots of little pieces as well as 1/4" sizes for some of the pieces. I am extremely happy with how this guy turned out. As you can see, I made a lot of not-so-cute and not-so-proportional snowmen through the different iterations of the design I tried. When we first started planning this QAL, I jumped at the chance to make a Snowman block! Snowmen are my favorite thing about winter and the holidays, especially cute snowmen. Snowman's nose is a Moda Grunge Orange scrap. I am so proud to share the Snowman block I designed! I used Moda Grunge Evergreen, White Paper, Onyx, and Red for the piecing portion of the block.
