This month's Schnibble is Joy Luck! The name of it comes from the movie "The Joy Luck Club" which happens to be one of my favorite books...I love Amy Tan! I decided to go ahead and do it in Christmas fabric for a gift...I am using Wrap it Up fabric from Connecting Threads. This one takes 80 charm squares and some background fabric...we got it all cut last night and I just started sewing it this morning. You can see I have my handy dandy Angler on my machine again because it helps with the snowball corners...I hate drawing all those lines! I will get more of this done today despite an afternoon appointment with my son. As to who will get this one when it is done I am thinking Kathy's sister Kelly might like it. Love working on Christmas presents in July! I just counted all my Schnibbles pictures and it looks like next month will be the last one...I am really going to miss doing a Schnibble a month. It has really helped brighten up my months despite our lousy economy. A little good news would be nice, but since the world isn't providing that right now, I will take a Schnibbles!
I also tried laying out some of the nine patch and snowball blocks in a diagonal format. I am not good without a pattern! I don't like how the nine patches line up up and down and the snowballs too. I can't see a way to put this diagonal with the two blocks that is going to alternate..it seems like a mathmatical thing and I am so not mathmatical. Anyone have any suggestions which will make this work better? I will keep playing otherwise because I know there is a way...smile.
