This is a Villa Rosa Pattern, but it probably goes by lots of other names. Snowball blocks. That's all it is. Charm squares "snow balled" and 1 1/2 in strips sewn to them so they offset. I bought the charm squares at a yard sale; there were about 110 of them. I specifically bought the white print fabric you see on the back to use as my background. Then I decided wanted more contrast so I found the dark blue in my stash. As it turned out the white I bought was almost the right size for the back. It became the right size when I added the leftover charm squares that I didn't use on the front. Quilted the snowballs with a free form spiral. Loved how it turned out. Thanks for looking.

Good shopping! I really never thought to do snow walls altogether but it looks great. This pattern would make a cute boys ball quilt. Love the spiral quilting and how you made the backing fit. Are the spirals done free hand or programmed quilting? Looks to be about 40 something x 50 something, maybe…

Lovely quilt! I would call it Lemon Drops because it reminds me of candies.

:) I like how the blue background makes the colors pop. The pattern was the perfect one for your charms...and great job finding them at a yard sale. The free form spiral adds the perfect finish to the quilt. Please share what color thread you used to quilt the spiral. Congrats on making this amazing quilt!

All my thoughts were already posted by others! Wonderful quilt, love the colors and the spirals in the charm squares. Now I want to make one of these too...my bucket list just keeps growing. LOL

It's terrific! I love that it's a simple pattern, but so effective!

Wow, lucky find and awesome quilt! Beautiful work!

I really like the fabric in the charm squares! There's something about the rainbowy way the colours blend. The blue is perfect for toning them down while showing them off.
