I couldn't wait to get home from work so I could try out my idea. What do you think of this 9-patch block?
It's fairly large - 24 inches x 18 inches.My idea is to start with this as a center block and then do something with courthouse steps log cabin blocks radiating from the center and the 100 roses for the border. That could be a problem since the block is not square. I could just make a bunch more of these blocks, but I don't really like qults made from a bunch of blocks in a row. I like the blocks to form a secondary all over design. I'm sorry, I realize many of you don't have a clue what I am talking about, so just disregard this part. I need it here so that I remember what my thoughts were!
At the moment, I think this 9-patch block is workable. I will let it sit for a day or so and then look at it later to see if it's still something I want to pursue.

ReplyDeleteI think it looks very pretty!
ReplyDeleteActually, I got what you meant! ; )
ReplyDeleteI like your idea for the center square too-very different!
I saw that you have 5 posts since I signed in the other night so I went and made some popcorn before I sat down to read them! But I didn't inhale the aroma.
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is going to be a stunner, Zoey. And believe me, we won't try to second-guess your expertise!
LOL, Pea. I bet a lot of people thought the same!
ReplyDeleteLaurie, thank you very much.
Dianne, I think you were born to quilt. Did you get that quilting project out yet?
Lostroses, as long as you don't inhale you don't have to worry. :)
I promise to get to the quilt after I finish my latest charity cross stitch square which should be in the next few weeks as the due date is Oct. 15th and I send it in a week earlier.
