I have always wanted to do a “Blooming 9 Patch” Quilt.
I was messing around on eq7 tonight and came up with this:
Wouldn’t this look lovely in hand-dyes?
I showed it to my husband. He said – “yep. it would look lovely in about 5 years when you are finished…”
he is so true.
Did I mention it will be king size. with 3” finished blocks?
Maybe I will buy the PFD for myself for Christmas and start on it in the new year.
Yep, you have gone off the deep end!! LOL I like the style of the blooming 9 patch, but never seen one that really looks “good”. Now this would be striking done in hand dyes…but the 1 1/2″ blocks to make 3″ patches would be a bit batty
Good luck!
Oh, I would probably strip cut the nine patches – not so horrible then.
Yes, that would be wonderful in hand dyes!! But I think that I would be much like your husband states. It would definitely take me that long especially if I was dying my own fabric.
Jackie – it took me over an hour just to do the eq drawing… lol
Oh – did I mention also – it is 20 yards of fabric to be dyed?
Wow! That would take me eons, but it would be gorgeous! I wish I had the time to take on something like that, good luck if you do;)
Jenni – I think I will give myself a deadline to have it done and quilted before we move from Hawaii in just under three years.
Batiks would look good as well… what a lovely design,
Barbara – yes, batik would look nice as well. But since I am fascinated with hand-dyes lately, I want to use hand-dyes that I do myself.
Kim, it’s just lovely, definitely a must make!
