Snowball Court Free Quilt Pattern by Susan McDermott
Snowball Court is a 60 x 68 inch quilt designed by Susan McDermott with Swatch Book by Iowa Quilt Museum. The advanced beginner project begins with a center of sixteen Snowball blocks. Diamond-in-square blocks and flying geese form pieced borders around that center, separated by plain fabric borders. The fabric list calls for a fat-quarter bundle, additional fat quarters, background yardage, and binding. Indigo fabric finishes the edge of the completed quilt.
