I finished sewing and pressing this top by early afternoon yesterday. As a comparison with the pattern photo, I'm not completely happy with my fabric selection. Not comparing, it's OK. I wish I could have found a lighter orange fabric for next to the yellows. I forgot to measure it but the pattern says 60" x 80.5". I'll get the actual measurement today and update this post.
I knew I had some 6.5" squares of floral prints left from a previous quilt that I could use for a mock-up. I cut one strip of quarter square triangles and laid them on the floral square and then laid the 9 patches on top of them. This is the idea I had in mind when I found that charcoal and white stripe fabric. I did like it with the stripe as as the alternating squares with the 9 patches on yesterday's post too. I'll have to think about this one for a few days.
