Today my sister, mom and I went to my aunt’s house where she taught us how to do a quilt pattern called “scrappy nine”.
This is how far I got today.
Each block is a foot square, so 3’x3′ in total right now. You start with one square of 9 different fabrics and end up with 9 completely different squares. They look pretty random, but everything is actually very organized and calculated. I have more fabric and more colors that I plan to incorporate. I want to make a whole huge quilt eventually.
After finishing our blocks, my aunt took us to Quilter’s Heaven. It was an Ahhhmazing quilt shop with more beautiful fabrics. It was so hard to resist going crazy and buying a little bit of everything. I will definitely be back.
Those designs that appear random but are precise and calculated confound me!
Lovely. I have a hard time going into a real (read not Jo-Anne’s) quilters fabric shop. I am always sooooooo inspired by all the fabric and projects. BUT I am always tempted to spend more than I should, buy more than I can use or possibly need!
Beautiful blocks!
