Notes
Snowflakes are made first and then attached to backing motifs by working through both thicknesses at the same time while working Round 4. Motifs are then assembled into strips with strip border worked around entire strip. Strip edging is then added to each side of strip. Strips are then sewn together and border is worked around entire outer edge.
