Let's have a Picnic

Today is the reveal day for the November Schnibbles. When I first saw this pattern, I loved how Carrie incorporated the American Jane fabrics. I have lots of similar fabrics, and auditioned with them several times, but they just did not seem to fall into place.

As I was thinking about how to make this pattern, I remembered about a stack of fat quarter fabric that I had. I had not used them before, mostly because some of the colors are not my usual palette.

But once I pulled them out, I thought I would give it a try.

So using the Victoriana fabric line, here is my November Schnibbles - Picnic

And if you have a question like "what are Schnibbles anyway?" Carol's Crafty Creations had the best description, so I'll let her tell you :-D

Now go and check out A Quilting Life and Pink Pincushion to see the Parade of Schnibbles for this month.

I am joining amylouwho on Sew and Tell Friday. When I finally finish something, I want to show and tell ;-)

    How pretty your Schnibbles is! It reminds me of a "picnic" just looking at it. It really, really turned out nicely, it just says "Spring" to me.

    Beautiful.

    Ha ha, I just love that you "remembered" about that stack of fat 1/4s!! Thanks for the link to Carol's site, I'm one of those people who didn't know what a schnibble was.

    Great job as always! The fabrics seem to suit the pattern nicely. It's great that you found a good use for them! It really does make a person want to picnic...if there weren't ice out this morning here in New England :)
