Boo!! Brocante for Halloween

Almost time for the April LePetite parade!  Strangely enough, I used Haunted Mansion and Halloween Night fabrics for my Brocante Schnibble this month. I love mixing those charm packs!  Last summer when these fabrics came out I loved them, but never made the purchase.  I was sure they were gone until I saw them in early April and thought they would be perfect for Brocante!  The squares in the pattern are great for showing off fun charms!

Brocante Schnibbles with Halloween fabrics!

I followed Carrie's pattern exactly, except I couldn't bring myself to clip the seams like she suggested when joining the rows! Yikes!!  I tried part of one seam that way, but I was just so afraid of cutting a hole in the quilt top or getting carried away and clipping the thread that joins the seam! And if you know me, you know its easy for me to get carried away with something! In the end I opted for pressing the seams open when joining the rows, but not clipping. I wanted to try more clipping, but I was just afraid......and it wasn't the scary fabric that made me shiver!  Did you brave clipping the seams?  I'd love it if you left a comment for me and let me know what you did.  If you clipped, do you think it made the seams lay flatter than just pressing them open?  Maybe I'll try harder to clip them next time if it worked well for most of you!

Close up so you can see the fun prints!

One view outside because it was a beautiful day!
Thanks so much to my teenage helper.  

Be sure to view the LePetite Parade on Sherri and Sinta's blogs in the next few days.  I've already seen a few beautiful Brocantes floating around in blogland! Thanks again for leaving comments about clipping seams....to clip or not to clip......that is my question!
