In one of the boxes, there are many, many squares just waiting to be stitched. I started making some little 9-patch blocks that finish at 3″. There’s something about making 9-patch blocks that I find really appealing.
I keep thinking about making a red and white 9-patch lap quilt. That won’t happen until the red and white Feathered Star/Sunflower quilt is done, but it’s definitely a quilt I want to make.
Baxter seems to think these blocks are meant for him, so perhaps I’ll make a few more and he’ll have his first little quilt. I’m thinking of making a grey, white, black and pink quilt for him, but haven’t quite decided on what pattern. In the meantime, perhaps a little 9-patch quilt will suffice until he’s fully grown and I get the other quilt made.

9-patch is fun to make. And I’m sure Baxter will appreciate to have his own quilt.

You know, quilts are cat magnets and it seems to be working at your home! Add a little catnip and boy will he be happy! That quilt looks good on him, I mean he looks good on the quilt! 🙂

I love simple nine-patches, too. And lately I’ve found myself drawn to four-patches as well. Thanks for starting my day with beauty — this was the first email I received this morning.

Your work is SO gorgeous! How do you find time to do all these quilts? I’m so intriqued with your printouts. What do I need to do to get some and how does it work and most of all, what type of printer would I need. I just drool with every email you send…now I need to get off my doofus and try it myself. Thanks so much for encouraging me. Please let me know how to get started. Sharon
