Not One Whit!

That’s what I named this month’s “Schnibble” quilt.

It is one of Carrie’s “Little Bite” patterns which is made with the smaller 2 1/2” mini charms.

So, even though it is made of 128 flying geese units, it finishes up at a whopping 22’'” square.

I do like the design allot and as usual, Carrie’s directions are spot-on and easy to follow.

But, it just seems like such allot of work for such a tiny project.

I really do like the larger sized quilts from the regular Schnibbles patterns better.

My quilt was made with the Moda Avalon collection from Fig Tree Quilts, but the backing is from their newer collection “Honeysweet”.

So, what are you working on this fine fall week?

Guess what I’m working on?

Here’s a hint…

I’ve been trimming…and trimming and trimming flying geese down to 1 1/2” by 2 1/2” in size.

Yep, I’m working on a Little Bite called Whit.

I’m making it out of two mini-charm packs from the Moda Avalon collection from Fig Tree.

Yep, been trimming all 128 little flying geese.

Really prefer to make regular Schnibbles with regular charm packs instead of Little Bites with mini-charms.

It is just such allot of work for such a tiny outcome.  The version of Whit that I’m making will be just 22” square… sigh…

Yogi’s been hanging out in the sewing room with me, as usual… supervising… LOL!!

So, what did you do this weekend?

Going Postal…

Well, not anymore, that is!!

My Halloween postage stamp quilt is finally done!!

I named it “Wicked Bits”!! Woo hoo!

I think this type of quilt with zillions of tiny pieces (1,443 to be exact), is perfect to make as a leader/ender project.

Bonnie Hunter’s term for having a stack of little precut squares by your machine at all times and using two of them right sides together in between piecing parts of your current project.

I have always called the little scrap pieces of fabric I used between piecing “tweeners” and they were just thrown away when they were covered in thread…but Bonnie calls them Leaders and Enders and has written two books about them!!

I am thrilled that I finished this quilt!!  Can’t wait to put it our next month!!  YAY! 

It was a great way to use up all those old tiny Halloween scraps!!

Today, I’ve got to start making this month’s Schnibble!!

What are you up to today??
