MY NINE-PATCH I MADE FOR THE QUILT-ALONG.


This is how I put my nine-patch blocks together. I was in the quilt along with crazymom quilts. we were supposed to do one block a day till we had made 70 blocks. most were put together with the white muslin sashings but i thought i would try something different so i used black snowball squares and black borders. It has turned out ok. My son likes it but it is going to be a throw for the couch. It might end up in his room at some stage though, probably till the next project comes along. I still have a few 9-patch blocks left over so I might make a lap quilt and try thr white sashings. Or maybe a couple of large cushions to lounge around on, we'll see. Now I just have to quilt it! This part will take me a while as I don't have one of those quilting machines . I could give hand quilting a try i suppose. . . . .
