So Jenny, even though this quilt is from 2013 it is still so wonderful. How quick and easy and perfect. So many times I go to a quilt show and am amazed by all of the quilts. But still I see these beautiful simple quilts that are so perfect. Thank you.
It is so refreshing to watch a tutorial by Jenny. Easy to understand and she does things in such in easy way! Love her projects. Thanks for all the work she puts into making quilting easier for others.
This tutorial is almost exactly 6 years old, yet everything is still the same. That's the really good thing about quilting ... No matter the pattern or the fabric, it's still a quilt ... Made with love for someone we love or sold for income. So many things change with time, but not the basic for or why a quilt is done. Love your tutorials, Jenny! Keep 'em comming.
Incredible. I am a new quilter and have wondered how to make a snowball block. Whenever I am around other quilters they say, "And you know how to make a snowball block...." I am too embarrassed to say no. Thank you, Jenny. I am going into the sewing right now and make some so that I won't forget how to do it. I just LOVE this site!
At least you are in the same country! I am way south in Australia and we don't have many quilt shops here. The shop we had in my town recently closed as the owner finally thought it was time to retire. We sorely miss her!!! Jenny needs to "come on down" for a visit! (Free room and board of course! :-) )
Just spending a Saturday afternoon surfing through youtube and what happens? Mind Blown! LOVE that 4 patch method! I am awful at random selection, so this will be sooo helpful! Thanks!
back in 2000, I tried making a baby quilt, didn't know how to properly bind it. I then bought a book on quilting that came with patterns, never tried them. Now years later I decided to try again, saw a 'bubble' or 'biscuit' quilt on youtube. your video on binding helped me get it right this time, now I want to make more quilts (after I finish hand quilting the bubble quilt I binded it before quilting between the bubbles) and went & bought my first mat, ruler, & rotary cutter, now to decide on a design to try.
Jenny, you have given me a lot of good tips, but I find the one about pressing your patch to use for seam line the biggest time saver. Thanks. Happy quilting and keep up the good work!
Wow Jenny you make everything look so easypeasy and I really want to make every single one of your patchwork quilts. Thanks a lot RUclips for giving us such a talented, gorgeous, beautiful and artistic Jenny. Jenny and all crew thank you so much for coming into our lives and teaching us new skills in such a fun way. A big thumbs up from United Kingdom.
You are the best teacher I've ever met.... I admire your work and I thank you for sharing your work with the world.....Thank you very much Hugs and kisses for you
Have been browsing all of your tutorials looking for an easy quilt to make for my daughter and SHAZAM!! I saw this and knew that this is the ONE!! I will be using Oasis metallic and light blue snowballs. thank you for your wonderful videos hugs, Julierose
I love your videos. You make everything look so easy and the way you demo shows us that they really are. Thanks so much. I review them over and over. Good work girl!
Jenny, today's daily deal is Christmas flannel, I think I will do this pattern, show case different blocks instead of the one fabric for each solid block. Fun pattern, thank you.
Thank you, Karen! I'm going to dig into my stash of snowmen fabrics to make a snowman snowball quilt - I'll cut my own 10" squares rather than use a layer cake. Your information made it all click - thanks again!
yeah! Thats what I was going to ask all the time! Please show us an easy way to make the wedding ring quilt. I am sure you have a special method as usual. Love all your tutorials and quilts, and also your shop!
You prolly dont give a shit but if you guys are stoned like me atm you can watch pretty much all of the new series on InstaFlixxer. Been streaming with my brother these days :)
As always, another great quilt pattern that is easy and simple. thanks so much for the tutorials as, they for me and for others, make quilting simplified. I have a challenge for you in doing a tutorial on cherry basket block from the Quilts from El's kitchen. I am looking for a simpler way of replicating the basket and wondered through pre-cuts if this can be done. Thanks, Debbie
What would it look like if you use the 5" square in each corner to snowball the block. It should come out to a point, leaving a triangle shape in the center. Can Jenny do one like that so I can see it? Maybe use the layer cake for the large square and use the background fabric to snowball it.
Jenny what a great tutorial for this quilt. I was wondering can you fussy cut a snowball block? I think it would look great. I have some boy fabric with all different trucks on it and was think about fussy cutting each of the different trucks out for the snowball block and then make the four patch blocks in colors to match the trucks.
Jenny, your tutes are wonderful. Could you please tell us what size quilt is behind you, also, how many snowballs are needed for that size and how much of the layer cake bundle is set aside for the snowball corners? Thank you!
Jenny I love all your teaching on video's!!! My question is:How are the seams behind the top? Remain open same? or remain on one side? Sorry about my basic english, Say hi from Chile!!!
I wish you would tell what size, and how many yds you need to make different sizes, a great reference. Also I noticed your iron has something that lifts it off the table, how long does your iron last ??
Jenny, thanks for your new tute! As always, so smartly done. I just noticed your new table. Is this a custom table or something you bought 'off the shelf' from a manufacturer? Would you mind sharing some details. It looks so functional and a great color!!
Jenny, you're a real great teacher. I wonder how the quilting of this Beauty was done. Did you use an ordinary sewing machine or was it one of those fab longarm quilt wonders? Love the swirling lines in the "snowballs". Thank you for sharing your valuable knowlidge.
I’m just seeing this tutorial now. Did I miss where she says how many to use for the 4 patches and how many to save aside for the snowballs? I don’t have a design wall, so I can’t do a layout on the wall to figure it out. Thanks for any help!
Thanks for the great & easy explaination! I never thought of a scrappy 4 patch done in that method before. Also- does your iron have little feet holding it up? I noticed it's not standing like I'm used to..
Your layer cakes seem to have straight edges rather than pinked edges, do you take the time to trim them before using them? How many of the pieces of the layer cake do you use to make the four patches, and how many for the snowballs? The quilt in the background was seven blocks wide, but I can't tell how many for the length.
It's unclear how much of the layer cake you use to make the 4-patch blocks and how many need to be left over to make the snowball corners. Could you clarify how many blocks you made for the quilt displayed and how many layer cake pieces we should use for 4-patches and corners? Thank you! Love this quilt!
How big is the completed quilt? I am pretty sure I have enough material to make the four patch and corners of snowball, for a queen size quilt but don't know how much to buy of the white. Would the 3 yards be enough?
I was wondering how many rows down this quilt is. The sample is 7 across but I am assuming that it is 8 rows down? If I am correct that means I should reserve 7 layer cake blocks for my snowball corners? is the first border cut 2.5"? I am just trying to insure that I purchase enough fabric. Thank you for answering our questions! Love your tutorials
Susan, - there is a disconnect when she says sew all the cake pieces for the 4 patches, and then says to use them for the corners. My solution is to pick out some stuff from my stash. Disappointed that no one has responded to your message.
Thank you so much for your help Rebecca I have written to customer service but haven't heard from them either. I agree with you guess that is what our stash is for!
Yes, I believe it is 8 rows down, so you would use 28 of your layer cake squares for the 4-patches, 7 for the snowball squares and you will have a few left over. I know she says "all of your layer cake" but since you need 28 4-patch units you would only need to use 28 of the cake squares to make them (unless you are wanting to make a larger quilt) Good Luck!
Do you have a tute on the wedding ring quilt hanging behind you on the wall. My Granddaughter wants one and I don't know where to start. Thank you in advance for your help, you make quilting so much fun.
I love the look of this, but she didn't mention how many blocks across and how many rows. It looks like 7 blocks across, but I can't tell how many rows total. Has anyone made this and can help? Thanks!
jenny, i love your videos! i look forward to the "next tutorial" and watch for them. i did see a tutorial on making the ironing "board". i can not find it now. was it removed?
If this quilt is 7 rows across and 8 rows down then it would have 28 four patch blocks (28 layer cakes) That would mean it also has 28 snowball blocks. I believe that it would take 7 layer cakes to make the snowball corners. From one layer cake you get enough blocks for 4 snowballs. Thats if it is the 7 across and 8 down. Just my guess. :-)
You could use the charm packs to make this but you couldn't do the easy 4 patches like she does. You would have to do them the "old fashioned" way. :-) It would work just fine though.One charm square cut in 4s for the snowball corners.
So Jenny, even though this quilt is from 2013 it is still so wonderful. How quick and easy and perfect. So many times I go to a quilt show and am amazed by all of the quilts. But still I see these beautiful simple quilts that are so perfect. Thank you.

Just watched a tutorial with Jenny Doan,,,,,,,,The Snowball four Patch quilt.......looks mighty easy and cute.....
Your tutorials are
better every week. I would probably try with charm squares as I don't have any layer cakes in my stash, AS YET!
LOve your tutorials. I am a beginning quilter and you make it so easy to follow the steps.Thanks.
Thank you, Karen! I'm going to dig into my stash of snowmen fabrics to make a snowman snowball quilt - I'll cut my own 10" squares rather than use a layer cake. Your information made it all click - thanks again!
I will be posting this on my face book page and emailing this link to all my other fabric friends. Thank-you.
yeah! Thats what I was going to ask all the time! Please show us an easy way to make the wedding ring quilt. I am sure you have a special method as usual.
Love all your tutorials and quilts, and also your shop!
I love watching the demo's, I plan to use the snowball quilt to do a soccer quilt

Great easy way to make four patches, can use this with charm squares too! Thank you.
What a perfect quilt for featuring some Machine Embroidery or Signature or Applique... thanks for showing us the foolproof method.... GrammaBabs
This will be my fall quilting project!!! thanks for sharing.
As always, another great quilt pattern that is easy and simple. thanks so much for the tutorials as, they for me and for others, make quilting simplified. I have a challenge for you in doing a tutorial on cherry basket block from the Quilts from El's kitchen.

Quick and easy the way i like my projects..thank u..
great one again. Easy to put together I think.
Que HERMOSO todo lo que haces , Dios te bendiga siempre 😚
Terrific as usual thank you
Love it you are so talented!!!
I love this idea thank you
Jenny you are the best! Every night I watch your videomin bed and my husband quacks along with ur duckie.
What would it look like if you use the 5" square in each corner to snowball the block. It should come out to a point, leaving a triangle shape in the center. Can Jenny do one like that so I can see it? Maybe use the layer cake for the large square and use the background fabric to snowball it.
Hi I came to fabric fest last nite n u weren't there :( I love to meet you!!! I'm your customer fan!! Lol
Jenny what a great tutorial for this quilt. I was wondering can you fussy cut a snowball block? I think it would look great. I have some boy fabric with all different trucks on it and was think about fussy cutting each of the different trucks out for the snowball block and then make the four patch blocks in colors to match the trucks.
Mary Carpenter of course!

Thank you for sharing your valuable knowlidge.
Just came across this video today a few years later. Wonder how it would look if you cut up the four patches & resewed them together?
I’m just seeing this tutorial now. Did I miss where she says how many to use for the 4 patches and how many to save aside for the snowballs? I don’t have a design wall, so I can’t do a layout on the wall to figure it out. Thanks for any help!

Your layer cakes seem to have straight edges rather than pinked edges, do you take the time to trim them before using them? How many of the pieces of the layer cake do you use to make the four patches, and how many for the snowballs? The quilt in the background was seven blocks wide, but I can't tell how many for the length.
makes me want to get busy using up my scraps. Maybe I should buy a bolt of white or cream for all the snowballs. Now that is scrapping LOL
You're amazing
Hi Jenny, how do you like your Oslio iron? I've read mixed reviews, but am looking for a good iron for pressing.
It's unclear how much of the layer cake you use to make the 4-patch blocks and how many need to be left over to make the snowball corners. Could you clarify how many blocks you made for the quilt displayed and how many layer cake pieces we should use for 4-patches and corners? Thank you! Love this quilt!

Keri Giddens
thank you Keri for clarifying that. I don't need to make mine bigger, so 28 sounds fine.
Do you have a tute on the wedding ring quilt hanging behind you on the wall. My Granddaughter wants one and I don't know where to start. Thank you in advance for your help, you make quilting so much fun.
Could you use 5" charms for the snowballs?
I love the look of this, but she didn't mention how many blocks across and how many rows. It looks like 7 blocks across, but I can't tell how many rows total. Has anyone made this and can help? Thanks!
Awesome!!! love your tutorials :)
I think they leave out the exact amounts so that you need the pattern to know the fabric requirements that makes the quilt the size you want.
question how many charm packs would need to make this quilt
thanks i’m looking of a pattern Suzette. can see if on my computer. but will not download.
jenny, i love your videos! i look forward to the "next tutorial" and watch for them. i did see a tutorial on making the ironing "board". i can not find it now. was it removed?
I have about 20 charm packs, can I use these instead of layer cakes?
Should we be careful to use warp or weft when sewing with Layer cakes and Charm Packs?
What about the borders? How wide did you cut them?
Can this be made with a charm pack and yardage?
If this quilt is 7 rows across and 8 rows down then it would have 28 four patch blocks (28 layer cakes) That would mean it also has 28 snowball blocks. I believe that it would take 7 layer cakes to make the snowball corners. From one layer cake you get enough blocks for 4 snowballs. Thats if it is the 7 across and 8 down. Just my guess. :-)
Can I use Minke fabric for the Snowball quilt?
Jenny,How many layer cakes to make a king quilt
32/8 -> 32 4patches and 32 Snowballs (64 blocks)
Enough for a quilt with 7 blocks wide 9 blocks long (63 blocks)
Frau Muschelsucher i
can I get a written pattern?? for yardage
Jeanie, what size is the quilt behind you?
What is the size of the borders?
a pattern to buy ????
You could use the charm packs to make this but you couldn't do the easy 4 patches like she does. You would have to do them the "old fashioned" way. :-)
It would work just fine though.One charm square cut in 4s for the snowball corners.
what is the final size of this quilt?
Should finish up about 77 1/2" X 95 1/2", Graca! Thanks for asking!
What is that Layer cake called
any instruction as a pattern !!?
