My nine patches are Christmas fabric and really scrappy. Don't have a clue how I'll put them together. I am making 3 sizes, 9" nine patch, 6" nine patch and 3" nine patch. Somehow they'll all play nice sometime. Here's pictures of some of my 6" patches and 3" patches.

Judy, they look like Christmas presents all lined up. Great job.

I have made 48 of my 9-patches. I have made 8 of them
"disappear" [as it were] Now I have to make the other 40 "disappear" then I will be ready to put my top together.
Still hoping I can get someone to take pics for me.
Fingers crossed.

Stichin Joy, Love your Avatar!

Thank you, CAG, that's very kind of you!

It's Bonnie Hunter's Patches n Pinwheels pattern. She got me started making 4patches using leaders and enders and I wound up with more than 300 4patches. This was a great way to use those up! Her website has the pattern and dozens of other scrappy quilt patterns for FREE>> http://quiltville.com/16pinwheels.shtml

I got a bit carried away, and put 2 extra borders on mine, so it has a raspberry colored inner border, a border of scrappy 4-patches, and an outer border of black with confetti all over it. There are over 200 different fabrics in the quilt and it's almost 100 inches square.

I make lots of quilts for Project Linus and so I have loads of novelty fabrics. We needed a new quilt for our bed and I decided to make a quilt for me the way I always try to make them for kids--by thinking about things I like, and putting those fabrics in the quilt.

Well! This quilt has flowers and stars and lots of dots. It has loads of blueberries, cherries, apples, watermelon, and chocolate. It has people I love real and imagined including President Lincoln, Harry Potter and Linus.

It was loads of fun to make, and I smile every time I look at it. It even makes it fun to make the bed, if you can believe it!
