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.

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.

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.
