    When I found the blooming 9 patch, I knew I wanted to do something in lilac prints. I miss lilacs something fierce!!! And I'm really pleased with the final product. This one is all for me!! This one is big (118 x100) so I had to take a picture at my LQS.

    Wow, I love it! I look forward to lilacs every spring. Maybe someday I'll get the nerve to do something as involved as this. Thank you for sharing!

    Thanks y'all!! And luvnquilt, this is super easy! All it is, is plain squares with a 9 patch in between the squares. It doesn't get any easier!
