Little Bites...

When you hear that phrase, what do you think of? Little bites of food? Time? How about fabric? :-)
This month for the Another Year of Schnibbles project Sinta and Sherri chose a 'Little Bites' pattern from Miss Rosies Quilt Co called 'Drop'.  Little Bites are made using the 2.5 inch 'candy' squares.  They are like really little charm packs. LOL

There are three variations on the pattern and I chose the one with the most teeny pieces! I must be crazy!!  LOL Well, you already know that about me. ;-)  I cannot remember which candy packs I used. :-o Maybe something with 'chocolat' in it, because I'm drawn to that... both by the colors and the treat! :-)  LOL

I used my biggest design board to keep myself organized...




You can find the tutorial for these at Lori Holt's blog~ Bee in My Bonnet~ under her tutorials tab. I made some big ones at 20 inches square and it worked out perfectly for this project. :-) I love it when things work out!

So here is my Bite of a Drop. :-)  I put the ruler beside it so you can see how small it is... the sashings and corner stones finish at ½ inch. :-o  The whole thing will be 20 inches square. Yup, its true, I am certifiable! ~ and loving it!!! :-)



You can see a whole parade of these Little Bites on Sinta and Sherri's blogs on the first of December. Enjoy!

Until next time~
Happy Quilting!

Your Drop quilt is really pretty. I don't know if I have the patience to tackle the 1/2" border.

Wow - I always suspected you were a little nuts, and now I know for sure! Love it.

Did you purchase Little Bites to make your piece or cut your own? Nice fabric selection.

Good heavens, they are really tiny pieces aren't they? It looks lovely though.

It looks like you are in good company! Your little bite is very cute. I loved making mine... but ran out of patience!

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
