I Love Nine Patches


What do you do with your scraps? 



I love to make nine patches.








This sweet nine-patch quilt by Country Threads is one I have to make someday. I've even bought the same border fabric already. So simple and yet so pretty.

I like making 9 patches, too. I think the prettiest quilt for a baby is simply 9 Patch and Snowball.Plus it is very fast. Sometimes I will add embroidery to the Snowball blocks.

What a great idea and such a cute quilt. I keep my scraps by my machine so I can try different stitches on them, but they are usually unusual sizes. Thanks for sharing.

I love making 9-patches. I have a stack of them that I already made up and use them in my small quilts or table toppers :)
