You knew it was going to happen....

 Tagalong had a growth spurt...nothing too serious but she grew over night to about 42" square.

Which really makes this a good picnic size. I used more fabrics so I think this quilt now has 65 fabrics in it.

 I've been working on Little Bit's quilt and should the flimsy done before she get's home tonight. And will then have to explain why she can't sleep with it yet.

This will be your sneak peak lol. I love these fabrics. The colours are so cheerful and fun. I really love the bird prints. Very adorable.

Ok dinner will not make itself and Little Bit is always hungry when she gets home.

Year of Schnibbles April Tagalong

 I finished this month's Schnibble! YAY! I used 30's prints, which is another stretch for me.

  I hated it while I was putting it together, the fabrics not the pattern, but now I like the look. I used a black for the inner border which I think looks good. And it was another stash only top so that makes me extra happy! There are 42 fabrics in the quilt and it sure looks like it! I oopsied the inner border, cut it 1/2" too narrow and I didn't realize it until the outer border didn't fit! So three of the four outer borders are right, I just too out a few of the little pieces but one it a bit wonky.
It is pretty busy for me. I think I should have used white, or black, as the accent in the nine patches to give your eyes somewhere to rest but oh well it still looks good.
And you know I'm going to make this bigger later on. I think it would be the perfect picnic/beach quilt for Little Bit and me to take on our summer outings.

Have you seen the Flickr group for Schnibbles? 

 Which reminds me I'd better get cutting her quilt while she's away this weekend with bio dad.
