Here's the latest back from the quilter.
I put this together last week as a thank-you for my Aunt.
She is catering and planning my graduation party, today.
(it got here just in time)
I was able to work with the fabric I had.... I could have added another row of 9patches, but didn't have any more sashing.
I think I ended up with about 8 inches!!!!
Now... what do do with the 7 9patches that didn't make it into this quilt?

Lovely make some shams using the extra pieces? or a throw pillow.

7 nine-patches = seed blocks for your next quilt, of course! <g>

That'a a really cool thank you :!:

Good job. Has the look of an old traditional quilt!

Join four as you have them rotated in the quilt, but leave out the sashing and see if a secondary star pattern forms. Make a pillow. Or use for a tote bag.

Very nice! The colors looks really good together! You could make potholders with the remaining.

I love your quilt. What a great way to say thank you.

How pretty! How about a pillow with the leftover patches?

love your quilt what a great way to show how you appreciate your aunt

Great Job ! Your aunt will be very touched ! I think either matching pillow shams or a tote !

Congratulations on your graduation!!! :D :D :D
Your aunt just loves her beautiful new quilt!!! Look at her face!!!!
The tears in her eyes!!! Awwww she is so sweet!!!! :D :D :D

Very nice. Congrats on getting it done. You can use the extra blocks to make a pillow or small wall hanging. Or just save them and collect other orphan blocks and make another quilt.

Lovely! What a happy quilt!

VERY PRETTY. Your Aunt is gonna love it

Awww, you're such a special niece!! The quilt is just beautiful!!

And congrats on graduating!!

Lovely quilt!
For the leftovers, add some sashing and bake a baby quilt. there is always a need for them.
