When I found the blooming 9 patch, I knew I wanted to do something in lilac prints. I miss lilacs something fierce!!! And I'm really pleased with the final product. This one is all for me!! This one is big (118 x100) so I had to take a picture at my LQS.

Wow, I love it! I look forward to lilacs every spring. Maybe someday I'll get the nerve to do something as involved as this. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks y'all!! And luvnquilt, this is super easy! All it is, is plain squares with a 9 patch in between the squares. It doesn't get any easier!

Did you put a batik in there, too? It looks like one that I have -- and it really fits into the theme of lilacs!

Yeah, that's a batik I got from bob1414. It matches all the colors perfectly, doesn't it! So, when are you doing one? :mrgreen:

Beautiful quilt Gai, luscious fabrics - can even smell the perfume off that deep purple!
Lilacs are my favourite too - I love all the different shades, and esp the white ones. Even have a lilac quilt on the guest bed.

Simply amazing. I love the colors.

k3n 02-13-2011 02:24 AM

That is an absolute beauty Gai. And huge too! I love it and lilacs. We had a really dark purple one in the garden in France and there are a few here, growing in one of our hedges but I don't know what colour they are as they'd flowered by the time we came. Come over in a few weeks and have a good sniff! :D :D :D

Edited to asy - I take my hat off to you I really do - I'd NEVER have the patience to piece something like that. :-D

plainpat 02-13-2011 02:45 AM

I'd keep it too, if it was mine! So pretty & amazing color.BTW.we do have lilacs near the house & I look forward to picking a bouquet.

earlylace 02-13-2011 04:48 AM

I am in love with your quilt, question? is it a 9 patch with flowers that why it is called blooming 9 patch? I think this will be on my to do list someday if I can figure out how to do it.

tutt 02-13-2011 05:10 AM

Beautiful! Love the colors.

Really pretty. I like your colors and the pattern. Thanks for sharing.

pumpkinpatchquilter 02-13-2011 05:23 AM

STUNNING! I have a lot of that fabrcin in my stash too - how neat to see what you've done with it! Isn't it cool when you see possibilities that you'd never even thought of from other quilters? That is what is so awesome about forums like this!

Your quilt is wonderful!

sueisallaboutquilts 02-13-2011 05:24 AM
