My October Schnibbles.
When this pattern was announced I was a little disappointed, for some reason it did not initially appeal to me, but I went ahead and ordered the pattern. Once I studied the pattern I was excited to make it. I had never made a quilt top that used snowball blocks. Last month I was determined to use my Gobble Gobble fabric, before I even saw the pattern. This month I mulled over my choices after getting the pattern and decided I wanted to go with a red, white and blue theme. I wasn't in the mood to work with those colors, I was more in a fall or holiday fabric mood, but I went with what I thought it should be and am really glad I listened to my inner voice. This is a quilt I would never have made if I weren't participating in this challenge. I am very happy with how it turned out and happy to have it. I plan to use it next summer as a coverlet for my bed. This is quilt # 51.Additional Note: I increased the block size to 6 1/2 inches to accommodate the size of the center star in the 9 patch blocks and I mostly used leftover fabric from a previous project so this is practically a "free" quilt!
I just love the fussy cut stars in the center of the 9 patches! Beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteWow - I love it! You did a wonderful job with this one! Love the border fabrics.

ReplyDeleteYou always take your projects one step beyond Thelma! This turned out so great! Your inner border fabric is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteWow!!! This is amazing!!! The red, white and blue fabric and theme is awesome. Love it!!! I love the inner border and corners especially. Thanks for taking the close up picture. You can really see the detail.
ReplyDeleteThat turned out wonderfully! And it's a nice size. I've been wondering what I'm going to do with all these little quilts.
ReplyDeleteYou did an amazing job! It is beautiful! Your fabric choices, the border print - everything is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI like that you made it bigger.
You know what? I'm just going to take my socks off before I look at your latest, because you knock them off every time!
ReplyDeleteExcellent work, my friend!
I really love this! Can't wait for the parade!
ReplyDeleteOh wow. That is awesome! I love the colors, the bigger size, the fussy-cut stars. You get a gold star for this one!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great quilt! I never seem to be able to break out of what the designer used; you have a great eye for color placement.
ReplyDeleteWonderful color selection. Great outcome!
ReplyDeleteI just love what you did! The larger size was a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI just came over from the parade to tell you how much I love your quilt! I did patriotic colors too. I think it is the perfect color combo for this pattern.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is awesome! I love the stars in the center, so cool! I like your projects, they are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI did the Schnibble quilt too, in patriotic colors as well :)
It's awesome! I love everything about it! (Don't you just love that Jo star print?)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Cooper ~ he's awesome too. And I'm with you ~ I love the pin toppers from Pinks & Needles! I only have a couple of cupcakes so I might need a few more... :)
Love it and I'm glad you listened to your inner voice ....
