A snowball-block quilt has been on my want-to-do list for a loooong time. My original inspiration was the "Empty Nest" quilt which appeared in Blackbird Designs' Birds of a Feather book, published way back when? in 2006, maybe. Anyway, I finally got to it, using springtimey tulip and daffodil colored fabrics. This will be used on the couch during April.
I think this quilt, and the one I did last month, reflect a swing of the pendulum for me. I've been up to my ears in one-block-at-a-time sampler quilts for quite a while now (B-a-D), so a single repeating traditional block feels refreshing.

You know Jeanne the simple patterns really do come out well don't they - I love snowball block quilts and this is a lovely colour combination to work it in :)
Beautiful quilt! I feel inspired!
Absolutely wonderful quilt Jeanne!!!!
I have a snowball PHD somewhere, must dig it out now that I've seen your beautiful quilt.
Today is the first day of Autumn.... hooray! can't wait for some cooler days so I can get a little more sewing done.
What a very striking quilt! I like patterns too, they are so restful to the eye in some odd way.
