Candy Shop...

One of the things I like most about Schnibbles quilts is how quick they are to make.  Well that and the patterns are awfully cute too.  (Carrie certainly knows her way around a charm pack!)  So how is possible that it's taken me almost a year and a half to finish this one?  I made 'Candy Shop' for the Schnibbles parade in June of last year and have only now gotten around to completing it.

The pattern for this quilt is 'Doc' and I used Chutes & Ladders for the fabric.  The only change I made was to add an extra border to make it larger.  A lot of the fabric has candy on it and it would make a bright cheerful quilt for a child.

I quilted a simple pantograph on it, Celtic Braid by Patricia E. Ritter.

There was very little left over fabric from this quilt, but I pieced together enough scraps to make a label for the back.

I had a really hard time trying to get a good picture of the finished quilt.  Every time I laid it down, Jack would dive under it.  (She was having a blast!  Me, not so much.)  These were actually the best ones I could manage.

So, the stats for this quilt are:

• Size: 50" square
• Fabrics: 2 Charm Packs of Chutes & Ladders, Bella Solid, Moda Marbles
• Batting: Warm & White
• Thread: Aurifil #2326 to piece, Superior Threads So Fine #451 to quilt
• Pattern: Doc by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co.
• Quilting:  Celtic Braid by Patricia E. Ritter
• Completed: October 2013
• Recipient: Quilts for Kids

Even though it took me a while to finish this one, I'm glad it's done and on it's way to a new home.
