A bit of quiltie goodness :)

So for my Friday night sewing I ended up making theses blocks

from "another Bite of Schnibbles".

 I decided to make the "Tag-along" quilt.

On Saturday morning I worked on piecing the quilt top

and adding the sashing and outer borders.

Sometimes I buy fabric and it lingers in my home

for months or years.

But the minute I had my hands on "Give Thanks"

I just had to start quilting!

I love every print in the stack

except the Indian corn........

what were they thinking?

Oh well.....

I had to use it because with Schnibbles patterns

you pretty much use every tiny piece of 2 charm packs

to make one small quilt.

I  ended up going through my stash

to find a co-ordinating fabric because I didn't 

fully understand the cutting directions

and mis-cut some charms.

Luckily for me I had that fun brown with

polka dots that blended in well :)

I'm not saying that the directions were difficult to understand,

but maybe the glass of wine I drank while cutting played a small part?

After I had the quilt top assembled,

I decided that I didn't like the Oyster Kona I used

for the sashing and now I'm going to replace it with 

a sunflower yellow. 

It's actually a deeper yellow than it looks

in the photo.

I'm also planning on embroidering some

of the things I'm thankful for in the sashing.

We'll see how long it takes me to actually 

get this thing done!
