Snowball quilt

Working with reproduction fabrics really made me feel a bit more retro-ish, and I am definitely going to make another quilt like this one. Simple yet playful, minimal yet full of character — and perfectly unisex.

And that tiny polka dot binding? It honestly makes my day every single time I look at it. Don’t you just love polka dot bindings?

This quilt contains 42 snowball blocks, each measuring 6.5'' including seam allowance. It was quilted edge-to-edge using straight lines stitched 1/4'' apart from every vertical and horizontal seam.

This quilt is for sale in my SHOP . SOLD
