A Year of Schnibbles- Sample

This month's quilt is Sample by Carrie Nelson from Miss Rosies Quilt Company. Patterns are not available from the website now so I have not linked it. I bought mine from Fat Quarter Shop  
Sample is made using 2 1/2 inch squares or mini charm packs.
I used a charm pack of Glow by Amy Butler. The background and sashing is Bella Snow.

I decided to make Sample No 1, which is the one set on point. I didn't read the number of blocks required very well, so just kept on making them, and ended up with 20. Not liking waste of work and materials I decided to make a smaller version of sample No 2 with the remaining blocks (plus a reject and an extra)
These blocks are little. They finish at 4 1/2 inches - very cute little blocks. The larger Sample finishes at 28 1/2 inches and the small one at 19 3/4 inches.

The photos are hasty seeing we are working at the last minute here, and I couldn't decide a nice way to display them. The late summer/  autumn flowers in pots were my first port of call.


 
 
I am joining the monthly parade with Sinta at Pink Pincushion and  Sherri at A Quilting Life

  1. Wow - those tiny blocks are impressive. The hot pink binding works well on the smaller one.
