Scrappy Split 9-Patch

Hi all. I really should be in bed. Have an early start in the morning to catch the plane to Melbourne. Just thought I'd show you the quilt top I'll be passing onto Karen at Mrs Martin's Quilt Shop for the bushfire survivors.



Apart from some of the homespun, all the fabrics were in my scrap basket.



I started with split 9-patch blocks,
then just added sashings and borders.


Although it's not colours and fabrics I would choose for myself these days, I hope it will bring some comfort to someone.



We will be at AQC on Thursday and Saturday. Looking forward to meeting up with blog friends from Tasmania and interstate. Some I've met before and others it will be the first time in 'real life'.
Until Sunday,

    I was doing some blogging and came to you ... I just have fallen in love with your angels stitchery...your work is beautiful and the fabrics are darling. I like your split 9 patch I have made that one but not your layout. Thank you for sharing.

    The quilt top looks great. And a stash quilt is always a good thing!

    Have a good break.

    I love how the sashing and cornerstones set off each block. It makes each block sparkle!

    It turned out great! I love that disappearing nine patch! And the sashing and corner stones make it look even more fantatic! Those blue and brown colours are very 'in' at the moment!

    What a lovely quilt top! I especially like the pieced middle border; I don't think I've ever seen one like that before - what a nice idea. I'll have to remember that. Someone is going to love this quilt.

    The quilt top is lovely, it will make somebody happy! I see the colors as "soothing" ones, they look soft and tender. You did a great job.
