My favorite Schnibbles quilt...

(Note: To enter my giveaway, please go here.)

Sinta from Pink Pincushion and Sherri from A Quilting Life are hosting a parade on February 1st.  This time it's your favorite Schnibbles quilt.  I joined in Another Year of Schnibbles for the first half of last year, so I started thinking about which was my favorite.  At first I thought it might be La Maison.  I spent a great deal of time making this one and quilting it (especially those cobblestones).

But the more I thought about it, the more I kept thinking about another quilt.  One that took very little time to make and that I quilted with just a simple pantograph.  The colors aren't really me either, but I just really like this quilt.  I think it's because of the secondary pattern that emerges and how striking I find it.   The Schnibbles pattern is Bibelot and I named my version Child's Play.

I made a couple of very simple changes to the pattern.  I left off the sashing around the 'T' blocks and kept all of my rows vertical.  I used bright colors to make this quilt, because initially I was going to donate it.  However, my sister liked it so much, I ended up giving it to her.  Purple and green are really her colors!

I also used a soft flannel to add an extra outer border.  My quilt finishes at 48" square, while the pattern is 38" square.  I thought the larger size would be better for a child.  And as I mentioned, I used a very simple pantograph to quilt it.

It just goes to show you that you don't have to spend a ton of time and effort to make something you love!

Thanks for stopping by!
