Sewing (and Quilting) Simply Joy



I made this soft and lovely floral Nine Patch Block
a few days ago.

It is for a Block of the Month sew a long on a Facebook group that I belong to,

Weekend Quilters

I am an everyday quilter these days but I enjoy all the lovely inspiration and
the rules by which this group abides.
It is very friendly and supportive.

The BOM Info posted a link to this very helpful 

Nine Patch Cutting Chart and Tutorial @ New Quilters

This is a good site.
I am not a new quilter but there are always new things learn.
Following their chart, I decided to
 up-size to a 12.5" unfinished block
because I want to make a lap quilt.


For this project I pulled out this stash of fat quarters
and a piece of yardage.
This is an old Fig Tree Quilts line called Fresh Cottons.
I love the soft and pretty colors and florals.
I have some "Fig Tree Cream" Bella solid yardage from Moda
to use as background, too.

Sometimes is is fun to just sew an easy, old favorite block.


Quilting Progress Day # 2

I am still feathering my flower petals on my quilting machine.
I have the center done and am working upwards toward the top.

Tonight and tomorrow I need to catch up on some piecing.

One of the good things about having a long arm is I do not have to change the setup on my regular machine to go from piecing to quilting.

I am a happy quilter.

What are you working on today?

  1. It's refreshing to do an old block from time to time. Great job! Your longarm quilting is phenomenal, too!

  2. I've been thinking I wanted to do a simple nine-patch scrappy. You have just sent me a lovely reminder. Time to play in my fabrics. Thank you
