Nine Patch Path - Progress

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.

  3. I 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.

  4. Your 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.

  6. Wonderful 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.

  10. The 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! :)

  13. 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!

    I 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.)
