I finally finished putting my snowball quilt top together last night and I am so happy with how it turned out. I wanted to do something a little different from a traditional snowball quilt, so I just started sketching and this is what I came up with.
I used three different sizes of snowballs- 12 inch, 8 inch, and 4 inch, and constructed the quilt in sections. I like the way the snowballs "float" across the quilt, making it difficult to see where the sections are. I think when it is quilted the illusion will be even cooler, that's what I'm hoping for anyway.
This quilt is destined for a twin bed that is part of a sweet nursery, all decorated in shades of pink and gray. I can't wait to finish it!
I LOVE your snowball quilt! Might give it a try myself. Love the different sizes.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see this finished. It's great!
ReplyDeleteLOVE! Changing the block scale is such a fun way to make a quilt... :)

ReplyDeleteabsolutely charming! Great design and lovely fabric choices.
ReplyDeleteSo cute, nicely planned with large and small, placement gives a lot of movement to the eye. Great job!

ReplyDeleteAwesome idea. Love the floating snowballs and color scheme. Tutorial please.
ReplyDeleteLOVE this design!!! Your color scheme is spot on! I hope you do a pattern or a tutorial, I for one would love that!
ReplyDeleteI love it! The usual snowball quilts are too staid for me, but version is great! I invite you to link to WIPs Be Gone to show off your great version. Thanks for sharing, Kelly!

ReplyDeleteIt's great!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great pattern. So different than anything else I have seen. Are you going to be selling this pattern?
ReplyDeleteLove the randomness of the snowballs and I'm a huge fan of anything paired with gray. Even though it's for a nursery, I think it's a quilt that can grown with the child through the grade school years as well. Girly, but not childish. Love it!
ReplyDeleteVery nice Kelly. I'm sure it will be loved ; )
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful! Do you know what color you are going to bind it with? I think that dark gray would look awesome! Gorgeous finish :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute and very different, great job. Looking forward to seeing the quilting.
ReplyDeleteLove the layout, it looks great.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute quilt! The different block sizes and your fabric choices add a great deal of interest to such a traditional block design.
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous! Please consider making a pattern or doing a tutorial :-)
