I spent 2 hours this morning and another 2 1/2 hours this evening piecing. I managed to get 9 of the Nine Patch Path blocks pieced, sashed and joined together. I was going to stop at this point, but I like the pattern so well that I think I will add another three blocks to this piece and make it rectangular rather than square.I also started piecing together the leftover sashing bits. I am not sure what size this will end up. It is fun to think that every last little bit is being put to good use.
Looking really good!
ReplyDeleteI hate to waste fabric too... lol How big are those squares in your leftover quilt?
Looking very good. Your left over quilt looks also very good.
ReplyDeleteI love the nine patch quilt. How wide are the strips? I have a lot of 2.5 strips but was wondering if they would make patches that are too big for that pattern. I love that it looks so complex but is really not very difficult. How to impress non-quilters. Lol.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is stunning so far and using up the scraps is a great idea too. I'm going to have to find the magazine and get that pattern.
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt. It amazes me what can be done with some nine patch blocks. Well Done!
ReplyDeleteWonderful progress Norma. I love that design of 9-patches - I've used it a couple times. And isn't it always a surprise how something as simple as a checkerboard design for leftovers turns out to be so appealing.
ReplyDeleteMaking it a true stashbuster then--way to go! Reversible quilt as well. Hope you continue to enjoy your BC Day holiday weekend.
ReplyDeletehow very speedy of you!
ReplyDeleteWonderful colorful quilt.
ReplyDeleteThis looks great. I really like the colors, and am glad you ave having so much fun making it. The leftover quilt looks great too.
ReplyDeleteHi Norma, the Nine Patch Path is looking wonderful..it really is a fun pattern, and a great quilt to look at!!!
ReplyDeleteGood for you for finishing up the bits by sewing them together. True scrap quilting at it's best!! Hugs, Finn
looking good!!!
ReplyDeleteThe nine patch is looking great! I can look to you for the little squares now because I just started cutting up 1.5" squares last night to be used on something and that looks like a great idea! :)
ReplyDeleteYour nine patch path quilt is wonderful! Nine patches are the next project for my little round robin group; I'll definately have to keep this pattern in mind!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing this quilt great justice! I saw that pattern and like it alot too. I am impressed how much progress you have made. Way to go!
ReplyDeleteRebecca
NICE! I Picked up that magazine & thought, "Isn't that the quilt that Norma is doing?" "Yes, it is!" and so soon after it was published!
ReplyDeleteI want to do the Taupe one with the "asters" - did you see a pattern for the asters? (Just makeing sure that I did not over look it before I contact QNM.)
The nine patch quilt is looking great - have you finished it yet?
