Just thought I would share this pattern for 9-patches. I haven't seen this one yet. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/12/55...100e8161ec.jpg

Oh! That's a really cute pattern! It's an unusual setting, that's for sure.
Here's some stars with a butterscotch background that I finished today.

I love your blocks, D.Henson! I like them wild!

Givio, that's a sweet pattern. There are so many patterns that use the 9Ps with white. Love the star blocks. You must be getting close with that quilt.

NZ, I really like that setting! I pinned it for future reference.

Cheesehead

DHenson love your colorful blocks, such fun colors!

Givio, your stars are looking great! The constant butterscotch looking fabric will tie all of the stars together, they will look like they are just floating on your quilt. Or do you plan to add sashings?

Today I made 40 6 1/2" hour glass blocks to use with my 9 patches. I chose a soft taupe color and now fear that it may be too light against the colorful blocks. If I don't use them on this quilt I have an alternate plan B that I could use them on another quilt. Decisions, decisions!

Cheesehead, I started posting pictures of the star blocks on the previous swap thread. I've made several color backgrounds so far including shades of yellow, peach, blue, brown, the butterscotch, and I'm doing tan today. Did you see NZ's blocks posted on the first 9patch swap thread? She's using neutrals, pale backgrounds, and it looks very nice. What is the second color of your hourglass?

Good afternoon, everyone. I’ve just bagged up 80 blocks. I think I’ll stop there. But just in case, I’ll hang onto them for a couple of weeks to see if I change my mind. Glad to be done. I think.

I'm not sure I'm going to make it to 100 to trade, either. We'll see. If the scraps start to pile up before the end of June, I'm sure I'll make more.

I'm betting on odds you girls will change your mind. :-) Another 20 blocks won't take a lot of effort, and if you add a bit to each 9patch after you get them back to make it bigger, then those extras will be enough for a whole other quilt! Just think! :-)
