Nine Patch UFO = A Quilt Kit from Podunk Pretties

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 ...

Good Morning Quilters!

For a several weeks, a friend’s Granddaughter, Elise, has been coming to my house on Monday evenings,  to learn about quilting.  She wants to make a quilt for her daughter’s bed.  After choosing a nine patch block design, she began looking at my stash.   She had fun picking out colors and practicing the “1/4 inch seam thing”.   I had fun seeing her enthusiasm.

March is here!  Not spring here in Michigan yet, but edging closer to it.  The birds are singing their cheerful spring songs.  My March UFO project hasn’t been pulled out yet; I will do that this week.  I will choose something spring like, I think. Last week I worked on some nine patch blocks for the next Churn Dashers of Tidewater Virginia exchange.  We are exchanging negative and positive
