Speck-September Schnibble

September kind of snuck past me. I realized yesterday that the end of the month was today. Somehow I had been thinking all this time that the end of the month was tomorrow. I had to quickly sew this month's Schnibble. The pattern this month is called Speck.These Little Bites patterns by Carrie are so fun! 
They are patterns designed to be used with Moda's new Candy--packs of 2.5" squares.one charm pack can be cut to yield 4 stacks of 2.5" squares, so these patterns are a great way to use "orphan" (one charm pack only of a given collection) charm packs.  I used up part of a charm pack of Blessing and part of one of Stars and Coxcomb. There were parts of both charms packs that were left over from earlier Schnibbles. The border fabrics were fabrics that I had on hand. I really love love this quilt. It has a vintage Civil war feel to it. I have had it all the cutting done for a couple of weeks now. The actual sewing did not take long. I did have one problem when I cut the final border for the "O" quilt. Either my measurements were off or the directions had a mistake that I didn't catch earlier. The border was to short by about 2-3 inches. The fabric I had picked for my outer border was all gone. I had used up every bit of it so I cut two 2 1/2 inch squares of my middle border to make up the difference. I think, when the quilt is quilted, I will put buttons in the corner squares. Visit  Sinta or Sherri to see the parade of Schnibbles. 

October is a bigger quilt so I won't be waiting to the end of the month, I hope. :) I really like that we knew what the patterns were for the September and October. I will be making Hubble for my October Schnibble. I have the background fabric and have some charm packs that I need to figure out which ones to use. I also have a fat quarter bundle that I may decide to use. This is what the cover of the pattern looks like by Carrie.
