It's a finish!
Hollow Nine Patch
45 x 60
Hollow Nine Patches finish at 7.5 inches and are made from 3 inch square scraps. It was one of my Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) projects in 2021.
I quilted it on my DSM vertically and horizontally on both sides of the block seam lines and then I quilted it on the diagonals.
And here's a peek at the backing and binding.

A little quilting marathon has been going on here. Soon I will have boxes of comfort quilts for two of my favorite charities that provide quilts for kids - Wrap-A-Smile (WAS) and Quilts Beyond Borders. (QBB).
Wrap-A-Smile (WAS) partners with Rotaplast International.
Rotaplast International, Inc. is committed to helping children and families worldwide by eliminating the burden of cleft lip and/or palate, burn scarring, and other deformities.
The latest mission was in Luxor, Egypt and if would like to see quilts in action as well as read about the wonderful work done to help children and some adults then you have to read all about it at the Rotaplast website. A few times I have been able to spot one of my quilts with a child. Oh joy!
Quilts Beyond Border (QBB) quilts go to many different initiatives...foster care, refugees, Indian reservations, orphanages...you will just have to go read the QBB blog because I can't remember them all.

If you would like to see the quilts I recently donated then hop on over and visit the Wrap-A-Smile blog and read the recent blog post! While you are there you can also read about guidelines for quilts and maybe make a quilt (or two) and send those quilty hugs off into the world!
And sew on...
nice and bright & colorful
ReplyDeleteI am sure some child will be tickled pink to be wrapped up in a quilty hug.
ReplyDeleteSimple yet effective! Love it. I'm in love with the print on the binding fabric. I don't know why but it really talks to me. Well done, Cathy. Thanks for the link. I had to go and check it out and it's a wonderful place to send quilts. Have a great weekend. ;^)
ReplyDeleteso pretty....a crayon box quilt for sure!
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy, I just love this quilt! What a great job you did with choosing the perfect fabrics for each pretty block!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the shout out and recognition for your wonderful quilt donations. And thank you for supporting a Rotary-affiliated charity!
ReplyDeleteWhoosh! Have you set a new record for most quilts completed in a year?
ReplyDeleteYour Hollow Nines quilt is great. Have heard of this design and seen you making some blocks but I’ve not tried it myself. Now I’m tempted! Perhaps my first step is to cut some 3” squares?
ReplyDeleteLovely it's great arrangement for ninepatches. The backing fabric is a beauty too
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Wrap a Smile is back to it's mission. I haven't received any notices of new posts and tried to add them to my feedly list, but the blog wasn't found. I was following them before Blogger stopped email notifications. You've supplied them with lots of quilts.

Instead of Hollow Nines, I would call it Window Nines, as they look like little windows with some light curtains or shades. Wonderful quilt!
ReplyDeletethank you for sharing - not only your quilts - but places where you donate them. word of mouth is always good. loved seeing your quilts. i will probably use some of your ideas. i love the hollow 9-patch. i have tons of cut-3" squares. i think 2024 needs to see a bunch of different pre-cut squares used up. thanks for your ideas. patti i florida mailto:pleal@cfl.rr.com
ReplyDeleteI went over and looked at the ones you sent. All fabulous. I really like that they are all unique. Different patterns and different fabrics. It makes each quilt very special. Thanks for donating your time and love to these charities.
ReplyDeleteHappy to know WAS is active once again - and the info on Pirateship is much appreciated. And your marathon is NOT so little - your output lately is simply amazing, just like you are.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, and whoever receives it will be very happy. Both such good charity groups.
ReplyDeleteI love the Hollow 9s block, so simple but effective! Especially with all that pretty color. Great finish, Cathy!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on another colorful quilt finish, Cathy!! Kudos on a successful quilting marathon.
ReplyDeleteYour Hallow Nines is a bright and happy quilt! It will definitely be loved in it's forever home.
ReplyDeleteYour Hollow Nine quilt is so pretty. I'm sure it will be loved by its eventual recipient.
ReplyDeleteAre you familiar with Sunshine Quilt Guild? They are a group on MeWe they support Comfort Quilts and Wrap A Smile. The group supports Quilts Beyond Borders as well. They're a fun group...fun to hang out and see what everyone else is sending when they have calls for quilts. I find that the group helps keep me inspired.
It's neat to hear where you are donating your quilts. For the past few years I have not quilted much but what I have made I have donated to organizations on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. I may donate more broadly this year.

Another great finish
ReplyDeleteYou are so generous with your quilts!
Sighting one of your quilts in service has to feel amazing! Love the happy feel of your finished hollow nines!
