I've got 12 pastel blocks made from 2 inch squares (using up scraps). I have seen several pastel with white setting quilts here on the board--it's inspired me to sew one--now to decide how to set the 9P's

i love your quilt on your avatar

working on a disappearing 9 patch lap quilt

Thanks craftybear. It's a ThisnThat pattern called Blessings (I think) by Sherri Falls, but I miniaturized it to 2 inch blocks instead of 8" blocks; added the piping and kept the borders unpieced.

I have a "blanket" in the works it qualifies for this 9 patch project but I want something on the out side besides striping to make it bigger any ideas?

You could strip piece a border with the fabrics you have used or other fabric with the colors you have used. It would be very pretty. Also, if you offset every strip in your piece, you can cut it on an angle and that makes a very pretty border instead of just straight across strips. Hope this makes sense. If you look real close at my avatar picture, you can see where I did the angled pieces at the very top of the picture - the bottom border.

Very pretty shopella. I just opened my eyes after working the past 2 nights. I will have to wake up a bit more and think about it. I like Judy's idea. I think I might use a white border and then the stripped border.

i agree with judy make a strip from each color all the way around and then make your binding a solid color like black since black is the main color its pretty i have that same black print

Here is a sample of the 30 nine patch blocks that I have finished. They are made from 2" squares and all from my stash. I'm still looking at pattern ideas.
This is sew much fun........thank you for hosting this project.

I'll try again to add picture of my blocks.........
