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,
