Nine Patch Project
#551
Hi Swan Song....I'm still working on my 9 patches and have most of a small top done for my 3 year old GD who loves pinks and purples.... in trying to make sense of my scraps I came across 3 pinwheel blocks and finally found 4 more quarters to make a 4th pinwhell to combine with the D9P. She loves pinks and purples...hope I can send the picture...hugs SG

I haven't forgotten about doing this challenge. Life has gotten in the way. I've got sooooo many other things to do that I had a little extra time and decided to get all the blocks done and put together while I had the chance. I still need to add a couple borders. This measures 60" x 86" so far. I only need this to be full-size and it'll be for my older brother. He has blues, browns and greens in his bedroom.
I'm going to use the same white paisley for the first border then I thought that I'd add a small border of blue to frame it and then add all the extra 2 1/2" sqs. I had cut extra as another border and then add another border of the white paisley. I have a blue paisley backing fabric I can use. I haven't figured out what I'm going to use for the binding, but I might possibly add all the extra 2 1/2" strips together and make a scrappy binding to go with the scrappy quilt I made him.
I have 111 blocks in this quilt(I know it's more than I needed to make, but I didn't want to make a lot of tablerunners and really wanted to do this for my brother) and NO two 9-patch blocks are the same. Thanks for looking!

To date I have made 57 Christmas 9 patches 6" finished ( had to purchase a little fabric to make more)
and 24 9 patches made into D9P, picture shown in previous post. Total made 81
I will go check earlier posts to see what our total number is.
Thank you for starting this thread:) I am getting at least one quilt top I would not have done without you guys.

I am about 4 days behind. I hope to catch up this week. I don't have a clue what I'm going to do with them yet. I made mine scrappy so I think I am going to make some totes and table runners. Any other suggestions? Thanks :)
