A New Nine Patch

First thank you to everyone who read my post on Sew We Quilt! Such a pleasure to have you here with me today. As I told you The Nine Patch is my favorite block. After writing the post and seeing all the inspiration on flickr I just could not wait to start another quilt.

So, a new quilt is in the makes...

Orange Slice by Quilt Taffy

I however in my true form have change the colors to pink!
I have nevered named a quilt in all the 25+ years of quilting until today.
This quilt will from now on not be known as my nine patch, or that pink quilt but forever will be called...

TA DA!!!

PINK LEMONADE!

Here is a preview of the fabrics I will be using. Kona White as my background fabric, and several miscellaneous pink prints. Some from my stash and some new. Yes, you do see an Amerika Samoa print from Barb, some Henna Garden, a VIP print from Cranston, and some Free Spirit.



Whew that was enough work for one day!!
Picking fabrics is a hard job, but I guess someone has to do it!!

Tomorrow cutting!!
Have a happy day!

Our Little M!!

    Great photos. "There is no better smile from above, than the one on a grandparents face filled with love". Your love shines through even in the photos.

    Authors note: this is an idea for a quilt embroidery saying. I am taking liberties. No offence meant. God created parents and grandparents.

    I can't wait to see it. I commented on your post on Madame Samm's blog, but there were so many posts there, I can't imagine that you read them all. I was wondering if someday you would show us wantobes how you did that fussy cutting thing on your beautiful 9 patch. I think it just adds such a nice touch and I would one day like to see it done so I can try it too.

    Your new grandbaby is beautiful!!! Now, you have a new reason to keep sewing and sewing.

    awwwwww Jane, so so beautiful! Congrats. I'm so glad for you. My poor daughter is throwing up everyday. I'll be so happy to be on the other side with you when she delivers in March. But we've got a ways to go.
