I have been looking forward to the Quilt Festival for a while now. I have been waiting to show off my newest finished quilt until this week because it is my new favorite!
I used the fabric line "Amelia" from Timeless Treasures. This fabric is a couple of years old but when I first saw it, I knew I needed it. So I bought up enough to make a quilt, although I had no idea what pattern I wanted to use it for. After a few years of going back and forth on designs, I finally settled on a simple snowball quilt. I wanted something that showed off the fabric as much as possible, and the snowball block seemed to work best.
Each center block is 7.5" square with 2.5" square corner brown squares. I added a 1" brown border and a 5" leaf border to finish it off. I used the remaining scraps to bind the quilt. I love scrappy bindings! Overall it is a perfect snuggle quilt for the couch.For the backing I used what I had left over of the prints and brown fabric.
For the quilting, I did an all over stippling with loops in a teal green thread. A little different from the normal stippling which made the quilting a little more interesting. 
It took me a few years to finally decide what to make with this fabric but I'm so glad that I waited. I love how this turned out! It is definitely my newest favorite quilt!If you'd like to make a snowball quilt, here is a great tutorial that can help.

This is so pretty Cami! I think the snowball pattern is the perfect way to display these fabrics. Beautiful job!
I just noticed the picture of your brother on your sidebar. I'm so sorry for your loss. I know it's been a while, but I hope that you're doing okay.
I love it. I was thinking of doing a snowball for our challenge...I really like how yours turned out.
p.s. Anna wants to know why this quilt isn't at our house. I told her it was at your house and she said, "Well, I guess today we need to go there."
She loves you so much. And she loves your quilt.
