WIP Wednesday - New Projects x Two

I have never made a Schnibbles quilt before, but I have seen lots of quilters in blog land who have.


Each month I look for the "Year of Schnibbles" quilts that get posted on the blogs, (Pink Pin Cushion and A Quilting Life). They are all so different and so beautiful!


I finally got brave enough to try one, with a little encouragement from Michelle at L7 Quilt Co.

She convinced me that there were some easy quilts in the new Schnibbles Times Two book and that I should give one a try and join in on the contest at Charming Chatter.

I decided to work on the Scratch mini sized quilt. I am using Swanky from Moda and Bella Snow. I am so excited to use my Swanky fabric, I love it!

This shouldn't be too hard, I know how to make 4 square blocks, and sewing strips together shouldn't be a problem. We will have to see about those setting triangles, though. I am hoping it will all be clearer when I actually GET to that part of the sewing!

 As you can see in the pictures I already have some of my fabrics cut and I have even sewn my strips together for the 4 square patches (no picture of those yet). So far so good.... so that means I  can start something else right?? Right???

It seems that Charming Chatter has another sew along, featuring the quilt Between Charming Friends.
This is an 8 week sew along, which should give me plenty of time.... just have to decide on some fabrics to use.
(at least I am using up stash fabrics on these projects!)

So I have two new irons in the fire and 

working on my stash.... it's all good!
