Sister's Choice Quilts

My interests are quilting, reading, cooking, family, decorating, and matters of style. I post regular quilting tutorials and book reviews of current fiction.

T is for Terrific

001

I finished my little Schnibbles project for this month.   It still remains to be quilted, and I hope to accomplish that in the next week or so. 

This was a super easy and fun project to do.  Around 10:00 AM I started cutting out the pieces, and by 4:30 was gazing fondly at the top you see above.  The fabrics I started out using were two charm packs of Half Moon Modern in black and white prints.  My favorite print, not surprisingly, is the one with the little scissors.  I tossed in a few other prints, including a few bright yellows, just to be mischievous.  I did make my version a bit smaller than the pattern, so that it fits my round kitchen table a bit better.

I have a set of black and yellow dishes with which I thought this little table topper would be super cute.  I will try to do a fun tablescape once I get it quilted.

If you haven't started your Bibelot (aka Thelma) Schnibbles for this month, it is by no means too late!

  1. Well! How cute it this little Terrific table topper?! It does look stellar with your lovely dishes. What are the measurements of this little quilt?
    I can see you’re back at your usual creative lightening speed,too. I have focus envy. When I’m sewing I distract myself with everything under the sun so I have very, very few one-day or one week creations.
    Whatever shall you make start to finish on your next sewing day?? 🙂
    Hugs!

  3. Oh my gosh Thelma, I love this quilt! I’m so glad you threw in some yellow because it gave this quilt ‘personality plus’!!! Hmmmm…I really need to get some nice black and white fabrics added to my little stash. That and also reds and whites. Like I told another blogger a couple of days ago, (can’t remember who, *senior moment here*) Since the Red and White exhibit last year, then watching your beautiful red and white tribute quilt come to life, I’ve found that I am ‘smitten’ with two color quilts, with a little surprise (like your yellow) added in occasionally! :o) Hugs…

  15. That’s one Totally Terrific Table Topper! Even if it is TINY! You know, I’ve never collected black and white prints. They’re fun to look at and the designs are all so different. Your little touch of yellow, especially in the corners, is perfect Isn’t that just the most fun pattern! I can hardly wait for the parade!

  17. The color combo you used does so well in this quilt design. And dishes to match! I am trying to remember if you are the one with so many different sets of dishes.

  21. Thanks Nancy, but I think you have me mixed up with Thelma. She did the red and white tribute quilt, not me! Wish I could take credit for that one!

  23. Another quilt on my list to make. It’s so fun to see how different they all look in different fabrics. I love the pop of yellow.

Thanks for the inspiration – can’t believe you whipped it out so quickly!!! I really need to just get busy! You inspire me! I bet you are loving your new studio!!

  43. I love your choice of a monochromatic colour scheme (nearly). It really makes the “T”s pop! Well done.

  47. I love your Schnibbles Bibelot quilt, really nice colors. The scissor print is a favorite of mine too. It’s so cool that you have dishes that match.

  49. I see you are ready for me to pop on over for a visit. You have a nice “T” is for Taryn quilt and dishes I love! The addition of yellow to your black and white quilt is very fetching. I like that kind of modern interpretation of the old T quilt block pattern. However, I hope we can through temperance out the window and and enjoy a little wine with our lovely dishes and quilt. 🙂 Have fun in San Franciso!

  57. If you ever get tired of this little quilt, just send it my way. This is my spring color scheme and it would look lovely on my rosewood table!
