This is a vintage handmade patchwork quilt in the Snowball block, hand stitched, from a family estate.
Every one of its 80 blocks mixes different prints — florals, ginghams, chambray and fun novelty prints like strawberries and a little girl with balloons — and it looks great spread across a bed.
What\'s Included
- One hand-stitched patchwork quilt
Size
- About 85 × 68 inches (twin/full)
Condition
It is in excellent shape with essentially no wear — it looks unused, though I can\'t say for certain that it never was. The few specifics:
- Back: three small rust-brown specks close to one corner, the largest about 1/8 inch, and one small tan spot
- Binding: two small rust spots on the fold at one edge
- Front: one seam joint slightly open with a small thread loop; one plaid patch edge lightly frayed
- Front: light surface lint on one patch
- Back: creases from storage
- No holes, seam splits or fading noted
Please see the photos and read the description for full details.
Markings
No maker\'s mark found. There is no label, signature or date.
About this item
The block is the curved Snowball (also published as Robbing Peter to Pay Paul and Mill Wheel): each square has a quarter-circle pieced into every corner, so circles form wherever four blocks meet. It is hand stitched in straight lines about an inch apart, set in nested L shapes that turn from block to block, and the solid pale blue backing wraps around to the front as the binding.
