When I returned from the honeymoon, not only did I manage to finish off the September Schnibbles project, but I also got crackin' on the October Schnibbles project, Cindy Lou Who. I used a couple of Nostalgia charm packs, by April Cornell.
Since I had a set number of prints in each color, when I cut them into the small squares for the 9-patches, it kind of distorted the coloring on some of the bigger prints and made the top look pretty busy. But I'm okay with that. It enhances the scrappiness of the top, I suppose.
I know it's not a great photo, but I'll post it again once it's quilted and bound. No promises on when that will happen ;)
I'm on a piecing roll, so I'm eager to see what Schnibbles project is on tap for next month! I've got my fabric all ready for it...
Hi Megan,
ReplyDeleteIn case you hadn't already heard about it, I wanted to send you a link about the Triangle Blogger Meet-up that is being arranged for in Nov at Six Plates.

Love your Schnibbles! The fabric is luscious especially that border!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so beautiful! Soft and romantic..
ReplyDeleteI like it! The April Cornell fabrics seem to be a little mushy for small pieces but it also makes them look really old and scrappy in that "use what you got and live with it" sort of way. A look I happen to love... :)
ReplyDeleteI love April Cornell fabrics. I'm sure it will look really great when you get it quilted. Quilting always makes the quilt :-)
ReplyDeletelove the color combination you used. It looks very feminine and refreshing. Excellent job.
ReplyDeleteLove how your quilt top turned out. It's beautiful.
