New project—9 patch quilt

Saffron Craig - Saturday, March 06, 2010
While chatting to Kate Conklin about quilting she mentioned Fransson who did a tutorial on crazy nine patch blocks. With my cousins Baby Bronte joining us I had been looking for a cool project to make with my Fairy fabrics.

When Patrick returned from his Friday night out I had all but sewn the binding on. Watching the fabrics get chopped up and re-sewn was fun and rewarding. So much so that I will make another one soon. So the world of blogging brings us closer together and is inspiring me. How about you?

Here is the quilt I whipped up. I am usually a hand quilter but this one was machine quilted which I am still learning to do. So forgive my scribbled quilting style and don't call the quilting police.. please!





If you fancy making one all you need is a 50 cm bundle of my Fairies and a few other fabrics and you can make a quilt as fun as this one.

Saffron--really cute. And I totally commend you for machine quilting. I haven't gotten the courage to try that yet. Way to go!

It looks great! I might try that pattern myself...
