I received a box of scraps from Buddy'smom and here's what I have so far. I'm going to have a bunch of extra nine patch blocks left over, any ideas on another setting for them?

Wow...you are so lucky!!! I just bought a bunch, I am making a Mama's quilt using that type of fabric.

carolaug 01-18-2011 02:28 PM

You can make a disappearing nine block with them,

I love the Civil War fabrics, and I love this quilt! Why not use your leftover 9 patches to make a table runner to go with it????

jljack 01-18-2011 02:37 PM

You can ALWAYS do a Disappearing 9 Patch for a table topper or a runner...those 9 patches are wonderful!! I love how this looks so far.

NorBanaquilts 01-18-2011 02:44 PM

I'll have probably enough to do another quilt and want to use a different layout

How many is a bunch of leftover 9P blocks?

Annaquilts 01-18-2011 05:43 PM

Gorgeous! Love both the pattern and choice of colors.

Maggiemay 01-18-2011 05:44 PM

I love your quilt. How about an Irish Chain with the extra 9 patches? I have some 9 patches that I was thinking about doing an Irish Chain with, but I like yours with the snowballs better!

sandpat 01-18-2011 05:45 PM

Pretty, pretty! I love CW and I like the scrappy too...great combo!

BizzieLizzie 01-18-2011 05:47 PM

Rachelcb80 01-18-2011 06:07 PM

Oooo, I LOVE your quilt! That is going to be fabulous when it's done!

luckylindy333 01-18-2011 06:09 PM

Jacob's Ladder has some nine patches in it- I love that pattern, it looks really complicated when you get it done, but it is not... I love your quilt- thanks for sharing.

sueisallaboutquilts 01-18-2011 08:33 PM

Oh that's beautiful!! :D

sewingladydi 01-18-2011 09:11 PM

Looks great-it'll be beautiful quilted

TymeToShine 01-18-2011 09:19 PM

Lookin' great! Show us when it gets done!

sarge1 01-18-2011 09:33 PM

I think sewing the remaining 9 patches in a vertical strip setting, with solid vertical strips in between the 9 patch strips is authentic. Does that make sense? Not sure how to describe it, but I can picture it in my head... sorry, Im tired... Wonderful quilt, by the way.

Conartist1945 01-19-2011 02:32 AM

I Love it!

NorBanaquilts 01-19-2011 02:38 AM

ditto

meemersmom 01-19-2011 05:52 AM

Not enough for another full quilt, but a good start on one. Have you thought of using them in the backing? The could be borders, sashing, etc., you can use to divide up different fabrics if you piece a scrappy backing.
Beautiful quilt, BTW. The colors are just wonderful. That was quite a gift you received.

I agree.

Tweety2911 01-19-2011 10:20 AM

Lovely.

theresa.redington 01-19-2011 10:57 AM

I really love your Civil War scrappy quilt. How are you going to finish it?

luvspaper 01-19-2011 11:04 AM

Love it! I am working on a scrappy quilt right now too....It is so freeing after sticking to strict patterns for a while.

I would use the extra 9 patches and do another simple one with plain middle blocks (like this: http://www.ttfabrics.com/patterns/do...rt-Pattern.pdf but scrappy)

eta: even 30-35 could make a good start for an inside with borders!

dunster 01-19-2011 11:12 AM

Love it!

Lady-T 01-19-2011 11:13 AM

Looking GREAT!

NorBanaquilts 01-19-2011 11:53 AM

It's going to have a thin border of the off white used in the snowball blocks and a Purple border (All the corners of the snowballs are purple.)
