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.

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

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.
