Make sure you have different values... light med and dark. I myself tend to navigate towards med dark all the time, so I have to push myself a little. It's a fun quilt to make! Post photos when you get it done!

MTS -- Thanks for posting all your beautiful quilts. Some day I would like to make a bloomin' nine patch.
|
The pattern you mentioned didn't show up for me.

MTS, you may hold the record for the most Blooming Nine Patch. Each has its own distinct personality. Thanks for showing them here.

MTS - thank you all the examples! I had no idea what a Blooming 9 Patch was. I really love the star.

My favorite is the Jamaica and made lots of Baby Bloomin.. She gave me patterns that have never been published. She is a wonderful person and so talented. She has a real sense of color. What you think would never work - does. Lots of small florals light to dark work great. Her book has been a top seller for years. She is the "inventor" of strip piecing and was honored at Houston for her innovative ideas in quilting.

beautiful but i am never going to make one

This book is still being printed. Has been a best seller and remains a best seller. My favorite book. I have never found an error in any of the many quilts I have made from this book.
|
Amazon has this book.
|
This is high on my bucket list. Have wanted to make it for a long time.
