It’s time for the big reveal for the all the “Joy Luck” Schnibble for the monthly Schnibble Parade. Â This month, I didn’t get very creative…..
I used Moda’s fabric line Verna just like designer Carrie Nelson of Miss Rosie’s Quilt Company did. Â I added extra borders to mine so I can use it for a baby girl quilt. Â There is an extra narrow white border and an extra wider green border. Â My hubby who hates green said, “For green, that’s pretty good!” Â In my world, that’s a compliment! Â Typically his comment is “Cool”.
I pulled some pink fabric from my stash for the backing. Â I used a bright varigated thread for the back and just “free-handed” some leaves for the quilting design. Â I love how the brighter thread POPS and makes the plain back look more interesting.
Here’s a close up shot so you can see a little better.
For the binding I used a stripe from the fabric collection. Â I personally believe that every fabric designer should be required to include a stripe in their collection just so I can use it for the binding. Â I LOVE stripes for the binding!
I have now made ALL of the Schnibble of the Year patterns.  This month I finished Winter White.  In addition to the monthly patterns, also finished a large version of Lincoln.  I made  Short Story and I made Hot Cross as part of Charming Chatter’s Schnibble Times Two Constest.  You can head on over there and vote for your favorite.  (there’s prizes for voting!).  It seems I just can’t get enough of Schnibbles.
Well…the July Schnibble is finished, I’ll be visiting A Quilting Life and Pink Pinchusion tomorrow to see the big parade of Joy Luck quilts and…I need to decide what I am making for August, a Short Story quilt or Plan C…large or small?  Oh decisions, decisions!
I love the green border!!! What lovely quilting too!! Woo-Hoo!
I too love that green in the border!! Job well done that you got them all done!!
Your quilt is pretty. I love the green. The quilting is great too. I always love looking at the back of a quilt. Winona
