August Schnibble (and a make up)

It is rainy outside today. Doesn't feel much like summer. I am glad I wasn't tempted with a sunny day since I shackled myself to the sewing machine so I could finish my Schnibble by today's deadline. We had a choice this month between Plan C and Short Story, two of Carrie's cute Schnibble patterns. I went with Short Story since it is a pattern I have wanted to make for a long time. I wanted it to be big so I can snuggle under it. I used my new design wall A LOT for this project and it was so handy. I even used it to take pictures of the finished top since it is too wet outside for an outdoor photo shoot.




I had fun pulling fabric from my stash for this quilt. I pulled from the blue, yellow, orange, green, and brown stacks on my shelves. I am using a lot of my hoarded fabric and it really is more fun to put it in a quilt then to just pick it up and pet it now and then. The background fabric is Kona white.

I also recently finished a Schnibble that should have been finished months ago. I don't even remember which month it was but I know it must have been a busy one for me not to have finished the quilt. It is a nice baby quilt size and that is what it will probably end up being since I have so many friends expecting a baby right now.

This marks the end of A Year of Schnibbles and I had such a good time and won some awesome prizes! Rumor has it they are going to do it another year with some changes to the rules. I can't wait to see what Sherri and Sinta have cooked up for the upcoming year. If you have sat on the sidelines this past year I encourage you to jump in and participate. It is a lot of fun!
