A sweet quilt for a sweet niece
 

My niece is turning 8 on Sunday and this is our gift to her. Since DH and I have no children, I get to spoil my sister's :). Out of all of my sister's kids, Kristie is the only one who has shown a real interest in sewing (carrying on the tradition!).


This pattern has been my stand-by lately; just a 9-patch with 2.5" squares, set on point. I quilted swirls and bound the quilt in a grey stripe cut on the bias. I have a bunch of blocks left, so I'm thinking I might have to make one for myself, I just love this fabric!
Thanks for looking!

Cheerful quilt. I'm always amazed at how the simple patterns still make wonderful quilts. I can imagine her studying the different fabrics and the way you put it together and being inspired herself.

So pretty, love your quilting. 9 patches are great, you can do so many different things with them.

9 patch always makes a nice quilt

Very pretty and bright quilt. I am sure your niece will love it.

You can NEVER go wrong with a 9-patch & this beauty illustrates that point perfectly! I don't blame you for wanting one out of these beautiful fabrics... yum! You're absolutely right... this is super sweet & I know your niece will LOVE it! Kudos!!!

You're right. That is a sweet little quilt. I love the buttery yellow background.

Very summery and cheerful. Great job. really like the colors.

I love it! What color thread did you use for the quilting? I'm struggling with a quilt that has white in it, but also some darker colors and and just stuck on how to quilt it and with what color thread.

That's looks yummy! I love the fabric! :)
Your niece will love hers forever!
I'm with you...make one for yourself! :)
