I pulled out another UFO last week, all the nine patches were put together, except the last month. So, I finished them up and pieced them together.
This was a BOM, and the pattern was found in this book, Primitive Gatherings. Had to buy the book to participate in the BOM.

This is a picture from the book showing the finished quilt.
There are several ways you can make a nine patch. Many designers have come up with efficient and easier ways to make this block. These women designers use a totally different technique than I had ever done, and the blocks came out better than if I had done it any other way.
This is my top with the blocks sewn together. It is made up of civil war reproduction prints and a tea stained muslin. I just love the simplicity of this quilt. I am excited to get this one done.
The only draw back of this quilt is I didn't want a square quilt, so I made it longer. In doing so, it is now not wide enough, and obviously there is no scrap leftovers. So, I have bought a muslin that is a pretty good match and I will have to tea stain it a bit to be a better match, and will use some of the civil war reproduction scraps from the quilt Civil War Tribute.
Another work in progress in the queue.
Warmest...
