Last night I finished my Schnibble of the Year, Tag-a-long. Mine turned out very different than the original.
There isn’t supposed to be a sashing between the blocks, but without it, the quilt looked SO busy. I saw over at Quilting is Blissful that Di had the same problem so I went with her solution and added sashing too. The fabric is from a couple Civil War reproduction charm packs that I had plus some yardage from my stash. I just love when I can create something from what is here rather purchasing more fabric.
This little beauty is going to be Grandma’s 90th anniversary present. Grandma is in the nursing home and I think this will be a great size for a lap quilt to cover her legs when she is in her wheel chair. It ended up being about 42″ square.
These circles are my favorite quilting design. The first time I did them was a real challenge but now, each time I quilt the design, it gets easier and easier.
As always, if you want to see other versions of Tag a long check out tomorrow’s Schnibble parade hosted by A Quilting Life and Pink Pinchusion.
Jo-once again I just love your quilt-you and I have such similar taste-It’s beautiful! Lani
The quilt came out great, I’m sure Grandma will just love it. Your colors all blend so nicely.
Your quilt looks fantastic! I like the sashing you put on it. I really love scrap quilts!
Jo – The quilt came out really nice! I just love these Schnibbles patterns. I just may have to purchase them. I also like the circles design. Any tips? I would like to try these too. I’m sure your grandmother will love this quilt.
Jo, I love your Schnibbles! I thought mine looked a little busy, too. However, it’s all put together and I’m not going to unsew at this point, LOL.
I love the way your Schnibbles came out too—I always love the look of the civil war fabrics and do have a stash–but for some reason I never use them much–so you may have inspired me, too!!!
wonder which one will be for May–Hugs, Di
.. and by “Grandma” she means MY grandma. :)
I’m so happy I got to see this in person, Mom! I had a great day!
I love that you added the sashing to this one! Looks fantastic!!
I really love your colours choice, sashing & beautiful quilting § Hugs from France.
