Schnibble Done!!

This month’s Schnibble- Lincoln, was a fun and fast little quilt to put together!!

DSCN3929

I used an older Moda collection called Breath of Avignon!

I found a blue fabric at Joann’s for the backing and bound it with some yellow fabric from my tiny stash here in the apartment.

I just quilted it all over with a simple meander.

This will probably be the last bit of quilting I’ll get done before the move, as I need to start packing up the apartment. Guess who is snoozing on the couch as I take these photos!!

Hope you have a fun weekend !!  Stay cool in all this heat!!
