Happy Halloween!

So what do you do when you've carved all your pumpkins... and then it gets hot and they sorta melt... and so you go to the store the day before Halloween to get more and they are all stinkin' gone???

You buy a watermelon and carve that instead.
So today is both Charming Girls and Schnibbles check-in, and wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles, I have not only remembered to check-in, I actually have stuff finished!!!!
So Charming Girls first.
1. Bind Mountain Rails...check.
2. Sew Posh blocks together...check.
3. Cut and sew the blocks for Picnic in Paris...check.4. Do something with Fabulous Fall jelly roll...check.Here is my Schnibbles quilt made with a combination of Peace on Earth, Winter and Roman Holiday. I didn't match my snowballs to the 4 patch corners 'cause I didn't read ahead (oops) and had already cut everything before I noticed that part, luckily I like things really scrappy. I opted to not do the borders. I am determined to use stash for this challenge and I just didn't have anything that made me happy. I do have the perfect binding and I think I'll make it wider than usual to give it more of a "bordery" look.
O.k. time to go get ready for the trick-or-treaters!!
Happy Halloween everybody!

You got so much done!! I feel like such a slacker. LOVE the Posh quilt the best (I mean if I had to choose, they are all so nice). I will have to remember the watermelon carving - my hubby got the last GOOD pumpkin at the store last night for my son. Whew!

Geez... I sure feel like a schlub right now. You got all that done and I... uhm, I... took a shower. And fed Rosie. :)

I love your little Schnibble ~ and all the other quilts! And reading ahead and following directions is seriously overrated. If you don't believe me, just look at your wonderful quilt! That's proof enough for me!

Funny pumpkins! Dots or checks are always my favorite. Great job on your Schnibbles!

Eileen said...

oooo! the quilts are all lovely.. good job on the finishes!
And that first photo is hilarious.

It is easier to eat a watermelon than it is a pumpkin.. in my opinion.

Karen said...
