Decisions, decisions..................

I sewed 9 patches with fabrics 6 and 7 and cut some edge triangles of fabric 7 since I have a lot of that fabric.  I contemplated stopping at this color.





Fabric 7 is a strange color, a dull gold background and greenish khaki color flowers.   It is a little darker than it looks here.





Then I laid the piece of fabric 8 against the fabric 7 to see if it is going to add anything to the quilt.








Then I cropped out all of the white design wall to get a better idea what I am going to do.  After seeing this photo I'm thinking I do need to add the last fabric because it is the same type of green as fabric 3 but just darker in value.  Now I have lots of 9 patches to sew for the 5 & 6 combination and the 6 & 7 combination so I have time to think about this.







I took a break from that project and sewed 6 more blocks for the framed 9 patch quilt.  This is number three in the solids and prints series and I hope to get this top sewn this month.  I need 80 blocks and I have 38 sewn so far.  All of the solids are cut for all 80 blocks.

  4. What a treat, Wanda, to watch you think through material selections. This blooming nine patch is a perfect project for the coming of spring. So much quietly bursting forth in our gardens and on your wall. Thank you!

  6. This Blooming Nine Patch says Autumn to me - just where we're heading down here! I have the Tradition with a Twist sitting on my bookshelves, I love them but never made one, perhaps towards the end of the year I might.

  7. I love seeing your Blooming 9-Patch quilt coming together! You inspire me to make another one myself. I like the addition of that dark fabric to finish it off around the outside.

  8. The transitions from one color to another are so good! They just blend so nicely. I bet it is prettier in person too.
