First Year of Schnibbles

I got the top done for the first project in the Year of Schnibbles, I doubt I'll get it quilted before teh surgery on Monday. And after I'm out of commission for about 4-6 weeks, no lifting anything more than 5lbs, and no real movement for 1-2 weeks, I'm only in the hospital for 4 days though.
My geese all turned out badly, but since I didn't have another charm pack they got used anyway. I fudged the browns (wow that sounds dirty) and they are ok but there wasn't much hope for the reds. Since Little Bit decided she liked this one it will be made into a quilt for her "babies". Which will put it on the back of the couch half the time probably. Though one of the puppies looks like he wants to claim it.




I don't think I'm going to add applique. The fabrics were strong enough to not leave too much empty space. And the holly leaves I tried to add just didn't look right so, no applique this time....but it will happen lol.
