I am so inspired by all the beautiful nine-patches I received from the swap hosted by Julie at JulieKquilts. So inspired that I plan on stretching them out to make four, maybe five quilts! The first one I am working on is based off the pattern Between Friends by Darlene at Quilting Daze. Darlene offered this as a free pattern on her blog a while back, and I printed it off to make some day. I think it works great with the two different sizes of nine-patches. I plan on adding two more borders, but I need to buy fabric for the first border. What is really cool about this is that Darlene was also one of the participants in the nine-patch exchange! I am linking this post to Judy L.'s design wall Monday.
I love the combination of big and little blocks. How cool.
ReplyDeleteI have a bunch of 3" 9-patches from a couple swaps languishing while I think about what to do with them ... the combination of large and small really appeals to me--I'm stealing it and adding it to the list of interesting things to do with 9-patches.
ReplyDeleteI love the name of your blog; I'm glad to have discovered it.
Oh! I see my block in there! This is a terrific setting for the gorgeous blocks. How exciting to see them coming together in a quilt already! I am resisting diving into mine just yet, though I have plans for at least two quilts already. I only did the 6" size blocks. They are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh I love it! :-) I missed Julie's exchange, but if she ever does another I'll be there! Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteI like the two sizes of nine patches together. Great quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great setting! Love it! And I can see rwo of my blocks in your quilt! How fun!
ReplyDeleteFantastic idea. I love the blocks of two sizes in that quilt. Great colors too.
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me?!? You already have a quilt top made from the swap blocks!?!? Amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh, Amy, I LOVE it! Perfect way to use your 9 patches. You've put a huge smile on my face and in my heart. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful quilt!! I love it...great way to use both size blocks together!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! Can't wait to see what you do with the rest?!
