October Schnibble Done!

The Schnibble assigned for this month is a rather large one called “Harvey”!

I wanted to use some fall fabric squares I already had in my stash that were leftover from a previous quilt, instead of charm packs.

I also wanted a much smaller quilt than this Schnibble… one I could use for November decor either on a wall or on a table.

Soooo, I made only the center pieced portion of this Schnibble which is made with half-square triangles.

I LOVE the colors of fall mixed with rich royal blues… like the colored leaves against an azure sky!!

So, I pulled out all my stash scraps in bright blue for the gray color Carrie used in this Schnibble.

I am very pleased at how it turned out!

The backing is an old Peanuts cartoon fabric showing Snoopy raking leaves, so I name this quilt “Rakish”.

And making only the center part resulted in the perfect size quilt for me!!  I quilted it with bright orange thread creating swirling oak leaves and an acorn in the very center.

I will be hanging it on my wall in  the family room/kitchen area during November.  I used the Waterloque app on my iphone to create this lovely pix-

So, Yogi wants to know what are you working  on these days?
