Snoopy sails on his skateboard on strip-pieced blocks, presented on
a background done in the "Postage Stamp" quilt block pattern (a style of quilting in which all of the pieces in the quilt are the approximate size of a postage stamp). The blocks in the quilt are set on point (the blocks are placed not square, but on their points).

Snoopy catches some Z’s at home plate, and baseballs of Japanese fabrics (printed to resemble kasuri textiles) create an
orderly border.
