9-patches week 7

9-patches week 7
Well, I thought about it and thought about it and couldn't resist. I'm going to make another 9-patch quilt, this time with 48 blocks. It will end up about 55" x 75" (I did the math but now I can't remember for sure) and I'm still going to do the borders like Amanda Jean's original one-a-day quiltalong. This time I'm going to try for fewer pastels, fewer pinks, oranges, and yellows all together. I think I won't use any browns in this quilt, either. I wonder if I could make it kind of rainbow-y? I will need more real blues, and true greens, too. Oh yeah, and purple.

I'm going to do 8 blocks a week and will have enough blocks for this quilt in 6 weeks. Anyone care to join me?

Sounds like fun. I'm going to take a look at my resources to see if I can have something that would work. I'm not a scrappy person, so I always have such a struggle when attempting anything scrappy. lol

Now there's a workable plan... 8 blocks a week sounds manageable. Love the scrappy look... you just never know what's in that stash that will combine well with its neighbors.

Sounds fun, but my plate is full.

You're welcome to come raid my stash. I can help you on those colors you're needing. My scrap bin overflows and most of the scraps aren't tiny.

Maybe after the holiday excitement passes, you can come by for a bit! Would be fun!
