I love antique quilts - back left, here is an original that has inspired me - pop over to True Blue Quilting Nana to see Nancy's wonderful treasure - perhaps around 70 years old - thank you Nancy for allowing me to keep this little beauty alive!.jpg)
I've had a few hours of fun this yesterday afternoon and feel sure I will achieve the look I want. I have chosen Retro-Thirtyish, now is there such a thing? Fresh, bright and pretty - and really there is quite a challenge in this not so simple 9-patch - perhaps not the best way to get into the swing of things, we'll see - maybe a simple 9-Patch would have been enough, this will be quite different with all those little individual squares to make the secondary 9-patches that join the blocks together!
I have chosen 2" cuts (finish 1.5") and I will be trying my best to spend a little time each day to try to pull this quilt together. She will be called Nancy 9-Patch - there we go, now that is a commitment. She will be a scrappy of course - I'm popping to the machine now to try to get a little more done - let's see if she is suitable for a Quiltalong - no two quilts would look alike!
Ta-ta for now!

That's going to be a lovely quilt and I'm glad to hear you had some fun sewing time. I think it would make a fun quilt along.
oh I think its perfect for a quiltalong...hmm totally scrappy nine patches or a bit more planned, 2 color is the question!
30's or repro's...
lots of decisions to make!

I love the look of 30's fabric, your blocks look great!
I love your rendition of this pattern! I don't need another project right now, but I don't think I could resist a quilt along! Glad you're enjoying some sewing time.
I, too, like the little 9-patch block. It felt so good to just flow with the music as I read your blog. Thanks.
This is going to be fabulous. Sounds like a fun quilt along.
Lovely 9-patch, and it is always nice to see your wonderful creations!

that red 9 patch is so eye catching. I need to make one like it.
