Nine Patch Puzzle

This quilt was made with the help of many of the ladies who attended our annual quilting retreat in February.  They were asked to bring a colourful nine-patch block, any size up to 9 1/2 inches.


This is what I came up with.  It was a good challenge trying to fit them all in one quilt.  It took lots of stitching and trimming.  It was fun though!


This quilt will be given to our local Crisis Pregnancy Centre.  My husband remarked that whoever got this quilt would be getting one very special quilt and I agree.  So many hands helped to make it.


The back has a strip with some leftover blocks as well as some 9 patch blocks that were just too big for the front.


It bugs me that I had my setting wrong on my camera, but I am not going to take these photos again.

  2. It's fantastic Alisa. What a fun idea. A 9-patch seems so plain but when you have the variety of prints and sizes it really makes a unique quilt. Whoever receivs it will be very blessed.
