Went online and found this.
Schnibble: noun A scrap of fabric; a leftover bit of cloth; a small piece.
Seems to me that there used to be a book, or maybe a technique where tiny pieces of fabric -- little fiingernail size -- were used to make mosaic-like, torn-piece fabric "paintings" where the pieces were fused and/or thread painted down. Anybody else remember what I'm talking about?
By the definition here, it appears *any* miniture quilt could be called a schnibble.
Not trying to argue, just tgrying to understand and learn.
