Progress on 2 plus something new.............


The last flannel16 patch blocks that I made yesterday are now added to the previous ones for a total of 38.  I haven't come up with a final plan for them.





I sewed the blocks from the Friday strip sets and sewed 3 more new strip sets for the batik 9 patch project.






I added 5 new blocks to the design wall and rearranged a bit.  I made it one block wider and need to have 12 rows top to bottom.  This first quilt will have all different blocks, one of each of the 4 alike of each combination.  The other 3 blocks go into a project box for a larger quilt with duplicates in it.  I'm not quite half way there so this will continue for a month or so.


I downloaded this free pattern and printed it a few years ago.  I knew I wanted to use large prints for it and finally decided to make it.











These fabrics are from 2 lines by one designer, e bond.  The dark skinny strip is a deep teal color and I only had a fat quarter of it so I need to find something else so I can make the rest of the blocks.  I might use a Marcia Derse fabric or two because they go well with these fabrics.


Last night when I was closing the blinds on my front windows the moon was shining through the huge maple tree across the street.  It was too striking to let it pass without taking a photo.

  1. Flannel to batik to contemporary -- isn't it great to have an eclectic style?

  2. Love the so soft looking flannels!!
    Great "moon shot"--cold here this morning at 27 degrees--no River walk this morning--not with that stiff NW winds blowing too.
    Hugs, Julierose

  3. Lovely Sunday post today Wanda, love how you are creating your 9 Patch. And the ‘Spa Quad’ looks like a brain teaser to be created, to me.
