Back from Retreat
Pauline:
Glad you had such fun! I want to know more about the blooming 9 patch Halloween quilt. With all my Halloween fabric I'm looking for ideas!! I am familiar with a book about blooming nine patch ... Blanche Young is author IIRC. It was done with very subtle color values. Is yours a variation on that? PAT, back in Virginia again! Pauline wrote: I worked on a triple Irish chain, until I was bored to death with it!!! Then I put the remaining borders on my blooming 9-patch Halloween quilt. Then I worked on machine appliqueing a quilt called Pretty Dresses. I got lots done. It's totally unstructured, so very relaxing. |

Blooming 9-Patch was Back from Retreat
Hi Pat,
I pulled my book out (Color From the Heart by Gai Perry) & she simply calls it a variation of a Nine-Patch. My quilt instructer calls it a Blooming 9-Patch. It was a study on working with color. The instructions are to start with your border fabric & pull colors from your border fabric to make up the quilt. The opposite of what I have done in the past! It was a bit of a struggle, but it worked. It's probably not a quilt I would have chosen to make, but I'm very happy with the end result. It's a different way of thinking! I'll try to remember to take a picture of it so you can see. I googled blooming 9-patches & I would say that my pattern is less busy than the ones I found, although somewhat similar. -- Pauline Northern California "Pat in Virginia" wrote in message news:34qzg.345808$5Z.95696@dukeread02...
