And Now There Are Three

Three Scrappy Nine Patch Blocks

This first block was made nine months ago and posted  Here

as the seed block for a scrappy BOM endeavor that I did not continue.

I cannot tell you why I did not make any more blocks. 

For this project I pulled out this old stash of fat quarters
and a piece of yardage.
This is a vintage Fig Tree Quilts line called "Fresh Cottons."
I still love the soft and pretty colors and florals.

I liked this Nine Patch block so much it was on my wall since I made it.

I have decide to pull these fabrics out again this year for the 

Scrap Quilt Challenge 2020 @ Persimmon Dream

The  January 2020 Scrappy Nine Patch Challenge 

caught my eye.

The orphan wall flower block called out "Pick Me!" 

Sew I am sewing more nine patch blocks with this stash of pretty fat quarters.

I have until January 2021 to make a  45" by 60" finished quilt to meet the challenge.

I can sew do that!

I am making 12.5" blocks.

I am thinking that after I have enough blocks for a lap size

it may suddenly become a 

Disappearing Nine Patch Scrap Quilt 

... like the one I made Here.
This not my grand-kitty, Pepper, who is a look-alike.
This is Mina Kitty who crossed the rainbow bridge many years ago.
Mina loved this mini version of the quilt.

Right now I am just going to keep sewing these fun and easy scrap blocks.

... and then there were four.

Midnight at the scrapatch and time for sleep.

Maybe tomorrow I will sew more 9 patch blocks.

Maybe some other pretty fabrics will say "Pick me!"

Sweet Quilty Dreams  :-) 

My PQ Mini Mystery Quilt Top Done!

My Mini Mystery Quilt Top is done in time to enter it into the Linky Party at

Persimmon Dream

Here is the

Final Clue & Linky Party



I started with These Fabrics 
which I pulled for another project
to see how they would play together in a larger quilt.



I started sewing My Clue 1 Block Here on Thursday.

 I completed my top just in time to add it to the Linky Party

This was an interesting mystery.
I will sew more of these fabrics and have this cute mini quilt to coordinate with it.

There are lots of pretty quilts in the links.

Thanks to  Kim @ Persimmon Dreams

for designing and hosting this mystery challenge.

It was a fun way to start the Quilty New Year.

A Mystery Quilt in the Making

These are my blocks for Clues 1-5 for the

 #PQMysteryQAL2

Last week I saw this lovely block for a mini mystery quilt in the making ... 

by Susan @ Farm Quilting

I was intrigued so I followed the thread trail back to the designer:

Kim @ Project Quilting is running this Mini Mystery QAL

To keep it a mystery, I started at Clue 1 and did not peek at the later clues.

I started sewing on Wednesday night and posted

My Clue 1 Block Here on Thursday

I have all the blocks sewed and am working on the setting tonight.

Here are all the Clues:

@ Project Quilting

• Clue 1
• Clue 2
• Clue 3
• Clue 4
• Clue 5 
• Clue 6 (at this link I saw the mystery revealed)

Clue 7 and the Linky Party is Here 

The link up is open.

If you want to try to get in on the prize thing,

you have two days to link up your completed quilt top.

It is quick and easy.

Hope to have my top posted tomorrow. 

Thanks, Farm Quilter Susan 

for posting your pretty blocks and inspiring me to sew along.

Happy Sewing, Everyone! 

EDIT:

After I posted the photo at the top I saw that I had sewed a mistake 

by flipping the geese on the bottom of one of the blocks.

Fortunately this meant I was able to fix it before I put on the block borders.

Good Catch, Me!

Looking Forward

Project Quilting

The new year has kicked off 2017 with

"Eight is Great"

I am not participating right now but I hope to do so later this year.

The New Year is always a time of reflection and renew and repurpose. 

Right now I am counting the days until a laser eye procedure that will hopefully 

improve and prolong my slowly declining vision.  

I have written of my eye issues in the past so this is not really news 

and I will not go into private details.  

I look forward with thanks for all my blessings, large and small.

I am hopeful.

My quilty place is happy today even though I am not sewing.

Thanks to 

Charlotte's Web @ !fallergirl!

who has made her own beautiful quilt inspired by my

Spider Web Quilt Tutorials

and has entered it in

January's Project Quilting Challenge

There are many, many inspiring projects in these links.

Thank you, Erin, for sharing!
