A Month of Sundays is Best

I finished all sixteen double bow tie blocks for the February Schnibbles and I just love it! So much that I ordered more charms to enlarge it. I hope they get here in time to finish it by the end of the month. So for now, it's on the back burner, patiently awaiting the mailman.

I'm half-tempted to order some yardage in one of the large floral prints for an outer border, but then I don't know what I'd do with all the strips already cut for the piano key border. I guess I could make a little coordinating chinese coin quilt with them. Hmmm.....now there's an idea. I'm really not a big fan of the piano key border on this particular quilt to begin with, so we'll see what I come up with. The large floral in this line is so pretty and I think it would make a great border. Definitely something to think about.

Sunday's Best marks the middle of the Year of Schnibbles. I wonder which Schnibbles the other half will bring?

Ooohhh, I love the colors in this! A certain someone I know has a birthday coming up...hint hint. You've got two months to finish it. ;)

Very pretty! You definitely could use the strips for a coin quilt if you purchase yardage. I love the idea of two coordinated quilts.

I like it, and I agree, making it bigger is the way to go! Which floral are you thinking for your border, the green background or blue? This family of fabric was a great choice for this pattern.

So fresh and pretty! Good for you for deciding to expand it!

Great job on your blocks! That fabric IS lovely...can't wait to see how you decide to finish the border.

YOur quilt looks great and I think you're right about the border for this one.
