A Snowballed Corner can be created in PreQuilt just like it is in real life when you're sewing it. Generally these snowballed triangle corners are on top of a square or rectangle.
Unlike some of the other Block Unit help guides, this one will focus only on creating a snowballed corner rectangle block unit.

Click on the BLOCKS tab on the left side control panel.
Click on the Make Custom Block button.
The Block Editor panel will slide out and overtake your screen. My block is set to 12" x 6" finished, but it doesn't matter, the next steps will work for all sized blocks.
Set your grid guidelines by changing the number for the horizontal and vertical units.
Since I'm going to be creating a rectangular quilt block, I'll set my gridlines to 2 horizontal and 1 vertical unit.
This will enlarge the square to fill the entire space of the rectangle.
Click on the Link button for a different fabric link (so that there are now 2 different fabrics being used). In this example, I am using Fabric Link B.
Move the half square triangle piece into the bottom left corner of the rectangle. It should cover the square.
You now have a snowballed corner on a rectangle.
Unlike the example in the first Help Guide, sometimes the snowballed corner does not extend to the full height or width of the rectangle or square.
Follow these instructions for creating a snowballed corner that is not the full height or width.

Set your grid guidelines by changing the number for the horizontal and vertical units.
Since I'm going to be creating a rectangular quilt block with the snowballed corner being half the height and ¼ of the width, I'll set my gridlines to 4 horizontal and 2 vertical unit.
This will enlarge the square to fill the entire space of the rectangle.
