Well, it seems to have happened again. I started to make nine-patches without a definite project in mind, but not really intending to make it much bigger than a lap-size. So, I cut some strips, and then a few more to match up some colors, and started sewing. Now I realize that I will have enough nine-patches for a king-size quilt at least. (Okay, I realize that those words have probably been voiced all over north america already)
Nonetheless, it is my problem today. So, I am trying to discover what is special about nine-patches, something that they do that four-patches can't do.
I remember that at the quilt guild meeting someone asked me where I found inspiration for new quilts. This is an example of inspiration-mystification, which might lead to inspiration-desperation.
I
will use up these blocks,-- just not quite sure yet how that will happen (or how many new projects have been started).
Any ideas? Let me know!
What about 2 lap quilts? Or a couple of nine-patch pizzaz-type creations? Or you could just give them to me! :)
ReplyDeleteyou know they seem to be Patti colors....
ReplyDeleteIt's true. I love them. They'll be beautiful whatever you decide.
ReplyDeleteI think they would be beautiful in one big gigantic quilt. But I don't think that's what you wanted to hear. ;)
ReplyDeleteI was sure it was going to become a disappearing nine patch!
