I have hundreds of three inch nine patches. I decided to make a nine patch zigzag like a vintage one I saw. So far I've made these four columns. They are too long to show you the whole piece which is queen-sized so here's a snippet. This is easier to make than I thought so I'm hoping to have a quilt top in no time especially if I add a column a day.
I love making nine patches - I save so much of my scraps they are so easy to turn into these type of quilts - this design you have with the zigzag black is great
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to beat a simple design! I love the zig-zag setting.
ReplyDeleteHow are the solids pieced? My mind can't grasp the twists and turns.
ReplyDeleteMy thought exactly. How is the solid fabric pieced (the zigzag)
ReplyDeleteThis is a neat design! Do you strip piece your 9 patches, or cut up all the little squares? My 1.5" strips need a hair cut so I'm pondering ways to use them...
ReplyDeleteCathy, I dont know how you do it all...and each one is amazing! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThis will be wonderful. I like the zig zag.
ReplyDeleteAnother amazing quilt appearing like a rabbit out of a hat! You never cease to astonish me, Cathy! I hope you tell us how many small 9 patches are in the finished quilt.
ReplyDeleteVintage quilts re-interpreted! Love seeing this happen over here.:)
ReplyDeleteI am a big fan of nine patches too. Your quilt is making up nicely, hope you can get a picture of the entire quilt when it is done.
ReplyDeleteI have long admired quilts with this type of zig zag setting, but I've never been able to figure out how to do it. Your picture tells the story! I can see the seam line in the solids. So, instead of needing to use partial seams, I can just set my 9 patches on point with the solids as setting triangles! This is brilliant! ! ! ! ! Thanks so much for the photo.
ReplyDeleteThat is a cool pattern! Looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteI love 9-patches and this looks like fun with all the different colors. Looking forward to seeing this finished.
ReplyDeleteNine patches are classic and the zig zag is clever.
ReplyDeleteI recognize the sun flower fabric in one of the nine patches, I made a nine
patch quilt using fabric like that mixed with large sunflower print and solid
golds and greens.
There you go, shaking another squirrel under my nose! Now where did I set my rotary cutter...?
