Little Folks Snowball Quilt on my design wall

A Little Folks Snowball Quilt Top
It's taken me awhile to get finished, haven't had much stitching or blogging time lately, but here it is, a finished quilt top.
I am totally hooked on the lovely Anna Maria Horner's voile Little Folks fabrics. They are so floaty and buttery and wonderful, I can't get enough of them.
Though the voiles were no trouble to applique they are a little more slippery compared to regular cotton so my applique pins would fall out from time to time. Apart from that they applique beautifully (I used the needleturn method here).
Very happy with the applique design, I came up with this one as I was looking out my kitchen window where we have some beautiful fern trees. They look a little ferny I think.
I took a photo of the quilt top in the sun, I adore the stained glass window effect.
I will definately be making another quilt in these divine voiles (er yes, I may have bought some more after saying I was only buying the full set in fat quarters, slightly addicted to these voiles, oh dear!) xo

It is a beautiful quilt. Thank you for your comment about using voile. I have considered purchasing it but not yet. I could not find a voile that I like the look of it.
Love your quilt! I just finished my Little Folks top yesterday too ( www.makedoandmendquilts.blogspot.com), it is addictive isn't it?! Now I want to make a snowballs one!
This is just beatutiful! Little folks is so colourful and vibrant. Love the stained glass look too!!
That's amazing Cathy, I love those colours.

That is absolutely beautiful -I can't wait to see it quilted and bound too - absolutely gorgeous.
Another beautiful quilt Cathy - I love your combination of piecing and applique. We missed you at AQC today!
Beautiful job! I love how you combined the applique blocks with the snowballs. I don't think I've ever seen that before. My favorie picture of all was the one in the sun, where you got the stained glass effect.
Hi!! I realy love your work!! Beautiful!! Anne:-)
Wow, just totally beautiful!! I love it. The colors, the applique, really everything. Job well done!
Gorgeous, Cathy!!! LOVE that little bit of fern-y applique. : ) And, the stained glass effect is b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!!!
Your Quilt is Just Beautiful..a lot of work with the making of the Stained Glass effect..well worth it Cathy...
cheers
Spectacular! Absolutely love the idea of putting larger applique blocks in with the snowballs. Clever.
::sigh:: So beautiful! Cathy, it's briliant! Your applique designs are so pretty -- such graceful curves. I really love the little color "frames" around the applique blocks too. Gorgeous!
It's turned out gorgeous, the colours, the applique and the fabrics are all such inspired choices. I'm sure I'll gush over it some more when you get it quilted.
love the pieced backing on the applique...the colors on those fabrics are great. all around fun!
Another stunner! Be sure and send a picture of this to Anna Maria....she's gonna love it!
This quilt is fabulous! Well done!
Oh my! A beauty for sure. I do like the stained glass effect.
Stunning!

you amaze me with how you pick out your colors and fabrics and turn them into such beautiful and inspiring quilts!
brava!
your quilt is stunning cathy...completely gorgeous in every way. I LOVE the applique designs and their placement is perfection!!
Oh I just love it! :) It makes me want to go out and get the whole collection! :) I also love it when you show the sun peaking thru the quilt top! :) Great job! I love the applique part...Beautiful! :)
I love your quilt. It's just so happy!
Oh I just love it~ I never thought of putting the applique smack into the quilt but I love it. How did you do your design wall? It looks like you tacked up the flanned. Do you keep it here all the time for looking at your quilt? Did you blog about it already? I just love this. Kaffe taught us to do the design wall for everything and I have never done that. I think it would be good to do with my dear jane quilt as well as the kaffe snowball one I am working on now! Great job, Steph
Beautiful! Such a happy quilt. The applique is lovely!
That "stained-glass" photo is breathtaking! I love the addition of the applique blocks - it really makes the whole thing extra special.
oh my gosh, so so incredible. I love what you did with this and I love mixing up scale and designs. the version in the light with the stained glass effect is so amazing. I like to do that too. I so wish I could keep that look in a quilt sometimes.
Oh wow, Cathy! It's absolutely gorgeous!!! I love the stained glass look too!
wonderful...
I love this quilt sooo much!
I really love this quilt. I am also quite smitten with the picture of it in process where you laid out all the squares that would become diamonds!
nice bright quilt.......love your design......
Your quilt is beautiful - a lovely design. Just beautiful ...
I too have restocked my Little Folks Voile fabrics, they truly are buttery soft and lovely to work with.

Oh, I love so many of your quilts, but this may be a new favorite for me. I love everything about it -- the fabric, the snowballs, the appliqué! Just spectacular!
Wow...Cathy, that turned out so beautiful! I like it both ways too! The stained glass effect is wonderful but it would add a lot more work to this quilt to do something like that. You have a great color sense!
Looks so lovely!!!!! Nice job on that applique!
Love your Post, Cathy! Must get back to have a good long read!
Hugs - Lurline♥
