Also known as....September Schnibbles! (A Year of Schnibbles)
Yes really, this is "Winter White". Don't recognize it? Look real close. I just added one more block to the width, three blocks to the length, and used 6 1/2 inch blocks in place of the 3 1/2 inch corner blocks. Plus I went heavy on dark toned fabrics, used no medium toned fabrics and just barely added any light toned fabrics. See it now? I know, it does have quite a bit going on.Each time I finish a quilt I write down the lessons learned in a little journal. Before I start a new project I review my list. Like the time when I finished a quilt and noticed for the first time that it was 91" x 118". I wrote this in my journal, "Pay attention to finished size before starting". (ya think!!) Well let me tell you, I wrote several things down in my Lessons Learned Journal for this top.
Like, "mull fabric choices over before cutting and sewing". Before I even saw the Schnibbles pattern I knew I was using Gobble, Gobble by Sandy Gervais for Moda. I had bought the fabric without a pattern in mind and was really eager to use it. I love this family of fabric but it is made up of light and dark fabrics. Not much in the way of mediums. I think "Winter White" really needs darks, lights and mediums. Also, Gobble Gobble has large designs, fabric with a smaller pattern may have been better.
There's also this, "Be Open Minded" I must have worked on 10 different color combinations (see Schnibbles N Bits Post) and while I did come up with some good combos, I didn't like the one that looked the best, the one that was the best use of fabric, instead I went with what I liked best. I'm not sure that was the way go, I was just not open to the better combination.
Also wrote, "Don't Be Inflexible". I was making this top to go over the back of this love seat. I chose the size based on this love seat, the colors based on this love seat.
This is the view from my kitchen sink. While I do really like the quilt (another blog for another day) that is currently on the love seat, I was really wanting something with more of a fall flair for a change of pace.
Here's "Eat More Pie" on the back of the love seat, the quilt I made just for this love seat. I don't think the love seat loves it. Is it the orange, the red...the size, I just don't know.
Doesn't it look happy here? Yeah!! At least it has a home! But I made it for the love seat!! That's OK, it's my first Schnibbles, I'll always love it.

This is the back
And this is why it is named "Eat More Pie".
Pie is my favorite food, chicken pot pie, coconut cream pie, cherry pie, pizza pie...I love pie.
This is the leftover fabric. Look at all those flying geese, 6 1/2 inch cut squares, 3 1/2 inch cut squares....all waiting for something. I think they may be waiting for awhile.
All put away for another day........ like maybe October 1, when I get the new Schnibble Pattern. Maybe I'll do "A Year of Schnibble Gobble Gobble" !
