I needed 8 blocks with yellow centers to round out my collection of blocks. These went quickly, as I pulled the centers from my box of 2 1/2" strips and squares. I've run through all my white on white fabric scraps, too. I've been cutting yardage for the last few sets of blocks.
All the completed yellow 9 patch variation blocks.
The design wall was empty once again, so I quickly worked out an arrangement and pinned up all the 9 patches. I color-blocked them in sets of four, which works out to a 10 x 12 block arrangement. That should make a decent sized quilt, 60 x 72. I'll decide later if it needs borders. I started stitching the blocks together last night - working in blocks of color instead of sewing long rows.
I still have another unfinished RSC project - the Sugar Bowl blocks I started a year or so ago. I kind of came to a standstill on that one because I wasn't happy with how the different fabric styles were working out. Maybe that will be an RSC project for next year.

ReplyDeleteI think sewing together long rows is sooooo boring so your solution is perfect for getting the job done. I might have to try that.
Lots of fun from such a simple block! Nine patches make the best quilts!
