Beautiful bright colors and not at all boring, especially now that I know how hard it can be to get all those rows perfectly aligned!

There is no such thing as a boring quilt! If it's made with love it's special. I agree with everyone else though, I love 9 Patch quilts.

huntannette 03-20-2012 01:07 PM

Me, three! I love to make them more than any other pattern. At quilt shows, I gravitate to them even when there are more elaborate quilts on display. You just can't beat a "boring 9-Patch"! Vive la boring! LOL! And your gumdrops look good enough to eat! I love it!

oma66 03-20-2012 01:32 PM

I like it, I like it, I like it! I like the placement of the 4 white squares in each block. It is a wonderful quilt.

huntannette 03-20-2012 01:32 PM

thank you so much.....i think i might change it`s name to the Happy quilt!! lol

If you are happy with it (it sounds like you are) then that is all that matters. Whom ever is just jealous that she didn't do it first. Sew in peace! You did a great job with it and I'm gonna copy it (if you don't mind!).

huntannette 03-20-2012 01:41 PM

I love how you controlled the scrappiness with blocks that are all tones of the same color. Beautiful work. 9-patch is a classic.

huntannette 03-20-2012 02:26 PM

yes i do love scrappies but always need to make it somewhat organized lol

This quilt is really beautiful. I love all the bright colors you used.

sassy granny 03-20-2012 03:23 PM

I love it and don't know why anyone would think a 9 patch is boring. You can do so much with them. I think they make beautiful quilts and yours sure is. I love the bright colors. nothing boring about this one.
