It's absolutely wonderful to have a design wall again! It's so much easier to lay out a quilt when you can stand back and see it.
I pulled some 9 patch blocks I stitched last year. These will become a quilt for the Houston Furniture Bank under The Grateful Threads Project. Lots of miscellaneous fabrics are being cut and sewn into simple 9 patch blocks, log cabin blocks or lengths for strippy quilts. I can piece while I'm in the mood then pull them together later when I want to machine quilt.
I plan to devote big chunks of time next week to piecing & finishing quilts. Wish Me Luck!

Gosh, I love a good scrap quilt! They are so appealing to me!

Nine-patches are so versatile; I love them too! And if you alternate them with a same-sized block with snowballed edges, it makes a great pattern. I started a scrap quilt today (sewing a couple test blocks before leaving on vacation) of a bright charm square bordered by low-volume strips. Kills two birds (neutral strips, rainbow charm pack) in one go. I love that you’re gearing up to do more charity quilts!
ReplyDeleteI could probably stitch a year's worth of 9 Patch variations. They are like candy to me!
