Nine Patch Project

How can you call it ugly?
To me, it looks like a big story book!
Pick one square from one nine patch, and I'll bet you have a five minute story to share with a captivated child.
These are the things REAL quilts are made to achieve, and I think you have done it BIG! <wave>

marymc, I love how the subtle sashings set off the blocks. Great job. Don't you love how this project just keeps growing? I have my squares quilt planned and will post when it gets sewn after Thanksgiving.

Not sure what I will back this with, but once I figure that out, I will finish it for my mom.....she will be 91 this month!!
Thanks for organizing this, Swan Song. It really has been fun seeing what everyone has done.

I was not very happy with how they turned out but I pushed on and finished it. This blanket has become so special to me I can't even explain. My SIL says it's a mothers quilt kind of like a mothers ring. I feel so close to my family and I have it over me everytime I sit in the living room. Kind of ugly? Yes but treasured even more.
