I am typing this out frantically between calls for work because DAGNABBIT I’m going to get it posted on a Wednesday. I also officially have a Pile Up - three tops to be quilted! I think this one is going to be first finished because it’s smallest. And because it’s on top of the pile!
This is made with split nine patch blocks- 32 of those and 4 straight-up nine patches. I used the same yellow with blue/green floral print for the center of all the split nine patches and a yellow for the HSTs on the corners of the blocks. From there it’s scrap happiness in blues and greens for the rest of the squares.
I cut this out last minute to take to retreat in case I ran out of projects, and I got all the HSTs made and some of the blocks put together on the last day. Thank goodness I did- it’s a super happy quilt, and it’s going to be a Christmas present for our neighbors. Their kids fight over the baby quilts I’ve given them, so I’m trying to reduce the drama for the parents!
Beautiful top. I love the bleu and yellow colors. I will come back to see it finished.
Love from Amsterdam
I like it!
Fun & fresh! Love the colors & design!
Love the colors, love the layout. Very lucky neighbors!
Great! I’d not seen one of those. Like it.
Looks great! I agree, lucky neighbors!
Such a happy quilt!
Very happy! Really effective pattern. Lucky neighbours.
Really simple but effective quilt. Might be sneaking it on to my ‘to be done sometime’ list
totally gorgeous quilt. I haven’t seen one of those either. Wow. Would love to source the pattern. It looks like it could be a great one for using up scraps. I have a draw of 2.5″ squares calling for a project.
Super cute! I love the effect of keeping the HSTs and the center squares consistent. I really had to look at it to see how it all went together - it looks more complex.
It is a very happy quilt. You have some lucky neighbors!
