Large quilt of plain and printed cotton fabrics in the "Snowball" pattern, the top with a pattern of small squares of different fabrics pieced in a grid pattern and on these are sewn rows of round, orange "snowballs" giving the quilt the look of an optical illusion, bordered on the two short sides with a band each of orange and blue fabrics (the blue is very faded) and on one long side edged in orange and on the other long side a blue band edged in orange, the backing of plain, cream-colored cotton.
