Good day, and welcome to my blog.
I am on a roll. I took time out from my Tidepools project to finish a UFO. I am part of the Stashbusters group on groups.io, and my name was ascending on the queen's list. Although you get to wear the (pretend) tiara and ermine furs, I really don't want to become queen. Therefore the finish. It's just a game some of us in the group play. See stashbusters@groups.io | Home if you would like to join us - no politics, no religion, just quilty chat.
My finish: A quilt in a snowball pattern, in late 19th century fabrics: blues, shirtings, blacks, double pinks, reds, and cranberry:
Each snowball block finishes at 4 inches. I started this in 2023. I sent the quilt top and backing to a local long arm quilter and she quilted it with a pantograph called Ocean Froth. You can see some of the quilting in the closeup picture below:
Overall size? I forgot to measure before writing this blog post but maybe 60 by 68 inches? 64 by 72 inches? Something like that.

It is a lovely finish. :) It reminds me of a vintage quilt with the colors. Thanks for sharing in Sew & Tell
What a great variety of compatible fabrics. Love the effect created with the tiny HST in the corner of each block.
What a glorious quilt! I love the optical illusion of circles.
what a cool snowball quilt!!!
Very cool snowball quilt with tiny little snowball blocks! Love the optical illusion it gives. Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings.
Congrats on a beautiful antique-style quilt! The quilting complements it perfectly.
Nice quilt. The colors look so good together. And, wow those are small snowballs. Great finish.
