Today we will work on snowman hat brim #2. It's another super easy block and will only take you a few minutes to complete. The pattern does not list what fabrics to use for your hat brims. Just to make it scrappy and have fun with it. This way your quilt will have a personality all of its own. I want to give you space to be creative and have fun mixing up the colors. If you are using a limited number of fat quarters and not pulling out of your stash of fabric... to make it scrappy, rotate thru your fat quarters. Never using the same fabric as the main hat rectangle in the block that you are working on. I'm hoping by doing this it will disperse the colors throughout the quilt. You can also just follow along and match up the colors that I have printed on the quilt layout page too if you don't want to mix it up with your own colors. I posted yesterday's snowman block just as a refresher in case some of you missed yesterday.

~Snowman Block Easy Squares~
I have shown here the block with the applique nose and two button eyes. We will work on noses another day... the button eyes are not sewn on until we are finished quilting the quilt.

| Following the pattern for size, cut out three fabric strips. I did 2 red and 1 pink strip. Sew these together along the 'long' side right sides together using a 1/4" seam. |

| Sew this strip to the snowman face and the main hat rectangle. Press. |

Isn't it fun making snowman blocks! I just love them! If you feel extra ambitious, you can make extra ones for an adorable table runner to match your quilt! See you tomorrow for the next snowman quilt block!
Happy Quilting!
