The little green quilt

Posted by mammal on January 24th, 2009 filed in School, back to school at my age, nine patch, quilt

I’m getting the little green quilt done. This one is for Jayden and it’s made up of left-over pieces and scraps from her mom’s. Here’s a picture of the twisted nine-patch. It’s a really easy patch that looks terrific when it’s done. You make a standard nine-patch, cut it in fourths, turn two of the quarters (diagonal from each other), then just stitch it together again. Voila, easy-peasy, and Bob’s your uncle!
I found these with the scraps that I didn’t use on the big quilt. This one I am quilting as I go and joining the sections after top-stitching. Cheating, I know, but school’s going and I want to make two more little blankies this spring for my other two sweeties. I don’t have grandchildren, so my nieces and my nephew will have to fill in.
School might be a bit of a challenge this term. I am not to the point of needing diet pills to stay up all night and study, and I won’t get there if I keep up.
