Bibelet...aka..Santa's closet
This month's schnibbles took a crazy turn. The selection this month was Bibelet. I looked at this pattern for several days waiting for any inspiration to start. What fabrics should I use? How would I use the finished quilt? I finally decided to use red and white fabrics. You can't go wrong with a red and white quilt. Here is where the mind starts to wander....From the first time I saw the pattern this month, it looked like a kimono or mu-mu. I just couldn't get this out of my head. Could have gone the route of "T" for Terry, but this just didn't look like him. As I starting pulling red fabrics, I saw red mu-mus. Lots of them. So who wears lots of red? Santa of course! Then I starting picking out fabric suitable for any fashion savvy Santa. In the back of my mind, I remember a quilt hanger I bought at a junk sale waiting for a small Christmas wall hanging. Inspiration found!

How fun to see NC State! My son graduates from there in May. Sweet idea!,
ReplyDeleteLOL I think you know I love how quilts come about, and the stories behind them. I love how your quilt came about - and now that you mention it, the Ts do look like kimonos!
ReplyDeleteI love your little Santa Mu-Mu quilt. I bet Mrs. Claus wears them when the Mr. is out in the workshop. :)
What a fun idea :-) I do like the NC State T even though I went to UNC!
