I'm just loving these Schnibbles and I want to make them all. Good question about the leftover charm squares. I never know what to do with them. Yes, I could make more Tuffets I suppose. I stuff them in a basket and the basket is over flowing with charm squares. I love your Winter White quilt with the Old Primrose Inn fabric. My LQS had the Hat Trick Schnibbles all made up with the Old Primrose charms and it was so nice.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01332365628403090230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-41024528225138244262010-01-21T15:12:10.915-08:002010-01-21T15:12:10.915-08:00Isn't 1 1/2 inches the size of a honey bun?

BUT on the first Schnibbles I made (Winter White) I ended up using those little strips to piece some of the blocks because I did not have enough :-( So they did come in handy. I used the Glace fabric, and discovered that I LOVED Glace, but NONE of our LQS carried ANY Glace. As a matter of fact they (10 quilt shops within an hour drive) gave me a blank eyed look when I asked if they carried that line. SOOO, it was a real challenge to finish Winter White in Glace, even after ordering additional yardage. Sometimes I wish I worked for Moda ;-)Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714577523744715551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-33901297741716179262010-01-21T12:00:02.341-08:002010-01-21T12:00:02.341-08:00Love the beginnings of the new Schnibbles!

I'm in the process of putting the blocks together from Glace.<br /><br />As far as leftover scraps like we have from the 3 1/2 inch squares on this particular Schnibble - I definitely save them for a couple different things. The strips I'll use in little projects like pincushions (okay, maybe even Tuffets), little doll clothes or sew several of them together to make BIGGER pieces to make little cosmetic bags or such. <br /><br />I use "starters" on my piecing and little scraps are great "starters".Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11114082808141552751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-77059400798219216332010-01-21T07:15:12.453-08:002010-01-21T07:15:12.453-08:00The first thing that comes to my mind is little 3&...The first thing that comes to my mind is little 3" 9 patches or 2" 4 patches from the leftover strips and then set them with the leftover charms into a little doll quiltBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15461859937359200970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-116061752441257596.post-81776483999601813492010-01-21T07:12:19.205-08:002010-01-21T07:12:19.205-08:00If I like the scraps, I toss them in my scrap bask...If I like the scraps, I toss them in my scrap basket.
