Back in 2014 I had grand plans for a simple nine patch quilt. For some reason the plan changed.
Six months later I used some of them to make my Patriotic Picnic quilt.
Then a year after that I started another quilt to use up what I thought was the last of the nine patches.
In January of this year while sorting through the UFO's I found more of the nine patches. This week a plan has been made to finally use the last of them. It'll be a simple small quilt using the fabric scraps from the nine patches. The large floral print will used for the backing.
Sadly, I was three pieces short of making the quilt. No problem, that's why we have fabric stashes! I pulled several fabrics to audition. Only one made the cut.
In my opinion a floral print would have been better since all the other fabrics are florals but in the end the color of this print looked better than any of the other prints I pulled.
Before storing this project away as a quilt kit it was added to the design wall. It took a bit of shuffling fabrics and patchwork until I was happy with the layout. Then they were carefully removed from the wall in order from left to right.
This quilt is small, 58 x 58. So, it will probably be the next quicky quilt to be finished. By the way the inspiration for this quilt was Cranberry Chain by Laundry Basket Quilts.
