Snowball quilt

Working with reproduction fabrics really made me feel more retro-ish and I am definitely going to make another one like that. Simple and yet playful, unisex and minimal. The tiny polka dots binding really makes my day every time I use it. Don’t you love polka dot binding?

This quilt contains 42 snowball blocks each measuring 6,5” inches, including seam allowance. It was quilted edge to edge with straight lines of 1/4 of an inch apart from each vertical and horizontal seam.

This quilt is for sale in my SHOP. SOLD
