Another recent finish, just a simple nine patch set on point. I was quite intentional about the value of the nine patch fabrics as I wanted a cross hatch pattern, but a subtle broken one. So some blocks are definitely high contrast, but not nearly all. The last photo I included because it shows the quilt from somewhat farther away which helps to see the overall design.
I love a quilt that looks interesting and attractive from close up, and from farther away. So this one includes many favorite fabrics that i love.
Its a large twin size, which I find myself making a lot more of these days.

Beautiful quilt! I love the scrappiness of the fabrics and the simplicity of the quilting. What method did you use to keep the quilting straight on the rows that aren’t following a seam? Did you just “eyeball” it or mark it somehow?

I just found you and am totally inspired! Scrap quilts have been a love of mine for over 25 years.

I love your quilt. It’s stunning with sophistication. It’s easy to pass over at first but I was pulled back to take a long look and bask in its entirety. It fella a beautiful story. Congratulations. Carla from Maine

Lovely! I keep thinking I need to try some black in a quilt (I usually stick to bright and cheerful colours)… I really, really like how some parts of this quilt are very subtle, like watercolour, and then the black gives it some definition. Perfect!

Nine-patch quilts are always a favorite. This quilt looks as though one’s grandmother or great-grandmother would have made it. Instant heirloom!
