My friend made a similar quilt, using florals, and it is absolutely gorgeous! I'm going to try an "I spy" next, using different fabrics of course.

easy is what I look for...where can I find this pattern????

Well, I like the white and the contrast.

fYI---Snowball quilts are not "that" easy. The one I made involved a lot of squareing up that I didn't anticipate since it's supposed to be such an "easy" block.

I could really use a fast easy project for a change. I'll bookmark this for sure. Really love your quilt! Hope you enjoy making many more of them.

That looks great. Love the fabrics

It is great. Just love those that are easier but just as nice as the more difficult.

I really like this on! Love your fabrics too!

Its just a plain old nine patch alternated with a snowball. The outside corners of the nine patch are the same fabric as the diagonal corners on the snowball. So simple, but really affective.

I think your being way to hard on yourself. I think it is beautieful and love the colors and the results you got. Where did you get the pattern for the one you made. I reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy like the boarder.

There are so many of us that love your quilt. Put me in line for the pattern also, PLEASE.
You did a fantastic job....sure doesn't look easy to me but I am new at this and unsure of myself..
Thanks for the picture and the hints.
Guess I don't know how to do a snowball block.

Love your quilt and the color of your snowballs...They would look good with family pics in them...Me for the pattern as well please. :thumbup: :thumbup: :mrgreen:

Very nice quilt and I can't wait to see the on-point version, too.

Mine is on point which makes a quilt grow real fast without a lot of piecing. The center of my snoball blocks has tea cups as a focus. Watch to see it!. I really like your version!

My second quilt was like this in blues and pinks.

Love the quilt.I also would like a pattern.

Beautiful quilt. I love the fabrics you used. Wonderful layout with the corners matching the 9 patch corners!!!! Great Job!!!!!

I made this quilt for my son for Christmas using Civil War Repro fabrics and he loves it! Yours is beautiful.

Really nice. Now I have added the snowball to my long list of I want to make one!

This is a lovely quilt. We all learn from each piece we make. Progress, not perfection is my motto.

Beautiful!

Beautiful quilt, I would like the pattern, or tutorial too!

Love the quilt -- and the dog... what kind of dog is that pretty baby?

Yoda, who was on my first Avatar, is a Maltese Shitz Zsu (I hope that's spelt correctly) cross. He is the one with the big eyes. I have now changed my Avatar to give LuLu her 15 minutes of fame. She is a Lhasa Apso.

I like this. Thanks for sharing

Her border is one snowballed block turned back and forth.

Yes, except only two diagonal corners instead of four, and the two are a bit bigger. Easy peasy!!! If anyone has any other easy pieced borders, I would be very interested. I'm not so good with really small pieces.

here is a link to some borders i found and have bookmarked.
