Dressed To The Nines

I have been going CRAZY the past few weeks working on my latest quilt. Crazy not because of the quilt, but because I can't share it on my blog because it is a birthday gift for my mother, and well, she reads the blog ! So, I got the idea to show if off to you all where it is safe from my mothers eyes !
I still need to bind it, but I finally got all the blocks together. I quilted each block separately then joined them with sashing. The front is made of different variations of a 9 patch. The center block is all print 9 patch, then around that is alternating solid / print 9 patches, and around the outside is all D9P blocks. The prints are all cut from mens shirts. [ATTACH=CONFIG]472935[/ATTACH] The back of each square is a striped fabric in alternating directions. I miscounted when I made them so there are two back squares in the same direction next to each other on the bottom row, but I did not realize it till it was too late to change it. [ATTACH=CONFIG]472934[/ATTACH] I am thinking of binding it in a dark blue to match the blues on the front of the quilt. Still not sure. It needs to sit and stew a little longer to be sure ! |
nice job! Dark blue would look great.
