I've had no time to quilt! So what do I do? Start a new project, of course! Maybe that's how I deal with stress, ha! (It's been good stress though, don't worry)
Remember when I mentioned that I won a giveaway from Kris from Lavender Quilts? Well, she challenged the winner to complete the top by the end of this month to enter the Another Year of Schnibbles Parade. So I got the pattern in the mail last week and got busy!
I used two older charm packs I won from Be Encouraged a looooong time ago. They've been properly aged while sitting on my shelf. "Fresh Cottons" by Fig Tree & Co. with a bit of leftover yardage from "Patisserie" by Fig Tree & Co.
I'm guessing the quilt to be approx 3 ft by 3 ft. Once I assemble the star blocks, I decided I didn't like my fabric choices. I picked apart 3 stars and re-made them. That took a few hours, but I'm so happy I did! I love each of these stars now.
I changed the border a bit. Since I made this from charm squares instead strips, I didn't have time or sanity to piece a checkerboard border. I just made a short piano key border instead. The keys were longer, but I didn't enough fabric to go around the entire quilt. No worries, I just cut it half!
I mitered the corners. It looks like a drunk 4th grader mitered them, but I don't care! It will quilt out : p
While I was on a roll, I pieced the back too. I love it!
This is also going to count for my February NewFO with Barb at Cat Patches. Barb will have the linky party up in 2 days. I think I see more Schnibbles in my future!
