I adore your quilt! And what a terrific suggestion to attach the borders after they are quilted. I love how that came out and plan to try that on my next quilt!

That is a beauty. I especially like the more traditional quilts and this is one with such simplicity but so pretty. How big are your finished blocks?

LOVE the 9 patch/snowball. I have never seen it scrappy (I don't think) And using 30's fabric. Perfect!!

I'm not usually a fan of reproduction fabrics, but I love, love, love what you have done with them. Beautiful quilt!

My sewing room looks like a fabric shop with every fabric except 30"s fabric. Now it seems that is my favorite. Love your quilt!!!!!!

Thanks, Illinois!

The 9 patch blocks use 2.5" squares and are 6.5" before being sewn next to the snowballs. Measured on the finished quilt, they are 6".
