This was a quilt along with Angela Walters. She has the videos stored on you.tube for all to watch if you're interested. This QAL is called Help. How do I quilt it? I bought the panel, it is so lovely and fun. I found a white in my stash to match the background of the panel - wow; and added a flying geese border made from ombre fat quarters. The pieced border fit perfectly the first time - double wow. I used a high loft poly batt for puff and quilted with glide thread. It measures 58 x 70. The back is a lovely yellow with red/hot pink dots, made to comfort a teen girl. I'm linking up with Small Quilts and Doll Quilts Wednesday ……….. Quilt Fabrication The Inquiring Quilter Friday ………….

I'm a real sucker for a new take on a classic quilt block. Especially a nine patch block - you can do SO much with it! So when I saw that Jenifer Dick and Angela Walters had written a book all about nine patch blocks I just knew I'd love it. And on my first flip through the pages I knew immediately which quilt I wanted to make first - the Nine Patch X. I always love an opportunity to dig through my scrap bins! The blocks were quick to make, and fun to customize. I chose to use low volume squares in the corners of each block to give the finished quilt a lattice look. Here's what the original Nine Patch X quilt from the book looks like: Gorgeous with all of those colorful scraps, right? There are 20 fantastic quilt projects in this book so it's a great value! One thing I love about Nine Patch Revolution is all of the quilting tips. Seriously sometimes I finish a quilt and then it just sits there for awhile because I'm stumped on how to quilt the thing! Every project in the book has it's own section for quilting ideas and tips from Angela Walters including step by step instructions and diagrams. All of Jenifer's projects are quilts, ranging from baby size to bed size (and we're talking like 90" x 90" here!) The book talks all about nine patch basics of course, but I love all of the spin-offs - the unique ideas that still technically are nine patch blocks but don't look like it, like this one called Plaid: and the Nine Patch X quilt: Two of my other favorites are the Nine Patch Chain: And the Streaked Lightening quilt (it's easier than it looks!) And then there's 16 more nine patch quilts to love too! You can find the Nine Patch Revolution books here in Jenifer's shop. Happy quilting everyone! --Andy
