Is There a Doc in the House?

010

I worked on my Doc Schnibbles this weekend as well, and can't wait to finish it up and get it on my table.  You may notice that I have made a smaller version than the pattern, using only four squares.

What I found out after getting the four blocks and lattices together is that the plan to use four inch half square triangles for the outer border, as shown in the nine block pattern version, won't work.  The measurements are off when I try to use the larger half square triangles with my four block topper. 

No matter.  The four blocks plus lattice measured 24 1/2", so I made 2 1/2 inch half square triangles.  When I sewed 12 of them together, the strip measured 24 1/2", which was "just right" as Goldilocks said.  I kinda like the look of the smaller hsts anyway.

  3. I like the look, too! Cheers for creativity and consideration that gives your Doc Schnibbles a stellar look of its own!
    As you know in the last year, I’ve made several small quilts and only one larger quilt. My family and friends have more wall and table space than they have beds and we’re all enjoying making seasonal changes with the little quilts. Besides, little quilts can more easily be quilted by machine at home or even by hand.
    How is Grandpa doing? Did you get the flowers planted at his cottage?
    Hugs!

  5. Oh so cute – I want to make one too – but have just too many unfinished projects at the moment – perhaps in the fall.
