See, I told you so! Schnibbles are scraps or bits of fabric. This is such a great book for using both charm packs and layer cakes. The pattern I choose is called "Lincoln". Here I am marking diagonal lines on the squares.
There is a lot of sub cutting, chain piecing, trimming and pressing. Did I mention trimming?
I added 2 rows to my quilt to make a queen size. Here I am doing the final pressing on the stars.
Here are all the components waiting to have their seams pressed.
I also made my piano keys 6 in. instead of the 5 in. called for.
This quilt ended up 78x96.
It was overcast this day, and the colors in the two photos above don't show the true colors. This photo is pretty accurate. This is just the flimsy. I turned it in to the NFQ. I let them make the call as to how to quilt it!

Oh, this is so gorgeous! The colours 'play' so nicely together! And I love a piano key border too! LOVELY!
Your quilt is rather impressive, Miss Vicki. I LURVE the word schnibbles, must file that away in my brain pan!!
I have to get this book. I love working with the charm packs and your quilt is so pretty. I enjoy all your posts.
WOW! I love star quilts and piano key borders. Another gorgeous top! You make the sweetest lemonade!
Great flimsy! and yes I have way too many schnibbles
A new word to me and I love it but not as much as your quilt it's adorable x
Stunning!
Beautiful quilt! I haven't been quilting very long, so I'm just starting to accumulate schnibbles!
I'll have to get a copy of that book too. This is the second great quilt you've shown us from it. Are you going to make one of each of them? Or have you already? Lol. Schnibbles makes me smile :)
Wow-wee! It seems like you made that quilt so quick :-). That is a lot of piecing and trimming. Great quilt!
With results like this, we should all have Schnibbles and use them lol
That was a lot of work but it's turned beautifully :)
Gorgeous version of Lincoln. I love Carrie's patterns and her designs are always topnotch, but yield to tweaking when needed. Your quilt turned out fabulous!! You are such a phenom in getting quilts done, a good example for us all.

I love your cheerful color and happy little sawtooth stars. Doesn't it feel good to turn those bits and pieces into a finished "wow?"
Also, I am coveting your cute little red handled scissors. Where did you get them?
