Tiny Nine Patch (Figtree)

After I'd finished the Bonnie and Camille "Tiny Nine Patch" I had a look through my Figtree scraps and knew that I would have enough bits and pieces to make another quilt.

So happy with this quilt.

I asked Karen to choose the quilting design - she tried "Breezy", a new design to me and it looks lovely on this quilt.

The backing is from an older Figtree range, "Somerset".  This green goes very well with all the colours in the quilt.  I was able to use stash fabrics for the background and squares:  Figtree Favourites pale taupe pindot for the nine patch background and Figtree "Stitched" for the squares, setting triangles and borders.

While hunting through my Bonnie and Camille box of fabrics, I came across a bag of HSTs and triangles that were offcuts from previous quilts.

Started sewing the triangles into HSTs with low volume, Bella Solid 200 and B&C white-on-whites for the background and ended up with these Broken Dishes blocks.

Cut up some leftover charm squares and squares from stash to make more of the larger blocks

and also some more of the smaller multi-colour blocks.

Added sashing to the smaller blocks and this is the quilt top.

I have so many backing offcuts which I try to use for quilt borders, binding etc.  Decided to sew some of these strips together to make a scrappy backing

and added the smaller monochrome blocks to the backing.

The quilt will also have a scrappy binding.

2025 is definitely the Nine Patch Year.  "Takes the Cake" quilt top has been made and is with Karen for quilting - should arrive home this week.

I love this colour combination.  Perfect in my sewing room.

Moda Bella Solid "Ruby Ice" is the background - it's such a pretty, pale aqua.

I was able to buy a bolt of "Lighthearted" bows for the backing and had a backing offcut big enough to cut for the binding.
