My last blog I shared "Grandma", the wool & flanal quilt my grandma made. It is my comfort quilt when I am ill. It is our extra warmth when it is cold out. What is funny I don't seem to ever have been aware that it was a 9 patch until we held it up to take a picture of it for my blog.<BR/><BR/>RaeRaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14960706802308801214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18204679.post-1162988011842521502006-11-08T04:13:00.000-08:002006-11-08T04:13:00.000-08:00It certainly looks like you've put a lot of work i...It certainly looks like you've put a lot of work into it. Maybe a fairky plain border of 2 wider strips with a smaller strip in the middle? That would sort of echo the 3 strips in the 9 patches.Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15434857739724897230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18204679.post-1162950690807887932006-11-07T17:51:00.000-08:002006-11-07T17:51:00.000-08:00This is very pretty!

I'd be tempted to piece a middle border between two smaller plain ones. I know you're tired of nine patches, but wouldn't it look good if you had a middle border that echoed the sashing, with matching 9 patches here and there on the sides and at the corners?<BR/><BR/>*evil grin* This late in the game, what's a few more blocks?ForestJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536396154296555583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18204679.post-1162847239824103262006-11-06T13:07:00.000-08:002006-11-06T13:07:00.000-08:00Your quilt is looking really great!Look forward to...Your quilt is looking really great!<BR/>Look forward to seeing the end result!<BR/>I'm with Libby too- no matter how hard you try, you seem to always discover touching colours after you have finished!meggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061112627819270427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18204679.post-1162843884985397512006-11-06T12:11:00.000-08:002006-11-06T12:11:00.000-08:00It will work fine if you leave it this size and ad...It will work fine if you leave it this size and add a border. For some reason, the pattern reminds me of woven Welsh quilts. I'm hopeless at 'arranging' so I just make sure that no two colours (or fabrics) touch and leave it at that.Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04378836466869691917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18204679.post-1162843858701254762006-11-06T12:10:00.000-08:002006-11-06T12:10:00.000-08:00No matter how long I stare at a quilt to keep 2 fa...No matter how long I stare at a quilt to keep 2 fabrics from showing up together, I always seem to find 1 missed -- after it's quilted and bound *s*Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17872055894285312153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18204679.post-1162834498835186442006-11-06T09:34:00.000-08:002006-11-06T09:34:00.000-08:00If you've had enough of the nine-patches, go for a...If you've had enough of the nine-patches, go for a wide border :-)quiltpixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03027878871572340928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18204679.post-1162832389429354272006-11-06T08:59:00.000-08:002006-11-06T08:59:00.000-08:00This is really a great quilt!
