I've made quite a bit of progress on both of the projects I'm currently working on. I made four more of the underground railway blocks, to give me nine now. I think I'm aiming for sixteen, which will give me a square quilt measuring 65 inches, before borders, and will use up 80 of the nine patches. I'm thinking I could do something with the rest of the nine patches for the borders, maybe off set two rows of nine patches to form a checkerboard on the top and bottom and then a single row down the sides so that it's rectangular, rather than square, although I don't mind square quilts. I'll have to let this simmer for a little while yet. I'm working on this one down in the apartment, since it doesn't need a design wall.
I'm working on the Blooming Nine Patch in the upstairs studio, since it needs to stay up on the wall

I'm linking up to WIP Wednesday at The Needles and Thread Network, a link up for Canadian bloggers, and also at Freshly Pieced. Then it's time for supper, and some more underground railway blocks. I wonder if I can get the last seven done tonight?
2 gorgeous quilts. I can see why you need to keep the blooming 9 patch on the design wall!
ReplyDeleteBoth gorgeous designs and so different from each other! Love the nine patch :) Visiting from Freshly Pieced.
ReplyDeleteDid I miss a posting somewhere? I was so surprised by the change of the look with the blooming nine patch with the darker blocks added. It really does change the look...I love it more!
