Hos Ladies' Art Company er det en blok af kvartcirkler, og Carrie Hall havde begge dele i sin samling af prøveblokke, nu på Spencer Museum of Art: en Snowball af buer og en af ottekanter på skift med nifelts, præcis som her. Marie Webster har både Octagon og Snowball i sin liste fra 1915.","Den lige skårne snebold er ældre end navnene. Det internationale quiltmuseum i Lincoln, Nebraska, har en Snowball fra 1850–1870, sandsynligvis fra Tipton County i Indiana, med lyse og mørke ottekanter på skift, og en uldquilt fra 1880–1900, hvor ottekanterne dækker hele fladen.",[26,27],"Blokken syes som et stort kvadrat med et lille kvadrat lagt på hvert hjørne, syet på skrå og klippet til.

Marie Webster has both Octagon and Snowball in her list of 1915.","The straight-cut snowball is older than the names. The International Quilt Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska, has a Snowball from 1850–1870, probably from Tipton County, Indiana, with light and dark octagons taking turns, and a wool quilt from 1880–1900 in which the octagons cover the whole top.",[36,37],"The block is sewn as a large square with a small square laid on each corner, stitched on the diagonal and trimmed. Set side by side, the cut corners meet in small diamonds.","It is best known alternating with [[nine-patch|nine patches]], as in [[quilt:snowball-nine-patch]]. Barbara Brackman shows snowballs alternating with double four patches, stars and appliqué and writes that you could probably pair it with any block.
