A Schnibble of A Valentine!

This is just a little nibble of my Valentine Schnibbles quilt. I finished it last month at my St Goerge retreat. I have been so busy with other things that I almost forgot to show it to you!


Making this really put me in the mood for Valentines. I could hardly wait to get home from my retreat and start decorating!


I have a little cabinet with a perfect table top that sits between my kitchen and my family room. It is the one place in my house that I always keep decorated for the seasons. 


The Schnibbles pattern I used for this was Winter White...one of my favorites! This is the same pattern that I made my last Schnibbles quilt out of for Christmas....the same quilt that I am using for my header.


Most of the fabric I used in this quilt was from Moda's line...Sent With Love...by Deb Strain. This line also had a few pieces of green in it that I chose not to use...so I ended up substituting a few pieces of reds and pinks from my stash instead.


My dear friend Helen quilted this for me and she always does such a wonderful job! I love the cute design that she did in the inner boarder. It is rather hard to see...but there are hearts in the red outer boarder. Very cute!


Just above the cabinet that I decorate, I have a quilt rack where I hung the Christmas Schnibbles quilt. I had a hard time deciding if I wanted to hang this one there...like I did that one...or use it as a table topper.


I guess it really doesn't matter.
Where ever it is...it will still be just
a Schnibbles of a Valentine!

Happy Valentines Day!

Isn't it amazing how different a quilt can look with a change of colour and I love them both, like how you have displayed them.

This is so cute. I love it all. I think quilts are the best decorations for holidays and red seems to be in most holiday quilts!
