Civil War Schnibble
#1
This is my first Schnibble small quilt. The pattern is from Carrie Nelson's book Schnibbles Times Two. I love the Civil War era prints and colors. It's about 29 inches square. Bought backing and binding today. I think it will be a wallhanging in my newly re-painted sewing room...as soon as it gets newly re-painted. Thanks for looking.
I forgot to say that I used two charm packs of fabric from the same designer. The one that looks like a stripe is actually a print of teeny tiny flying geese.

Went online and found this.
