Finished Quilt: Rick Rack Nines

 I love finishing quilts!

This tidy little quilt for the one of the cutest little boys has only been in the works for a month.  I started with the nine patches in green from scraps.  In only a few days, it became apparent I didn’t have quite enough to make all the needed nine patches.  I raided my stash (which I had happily recently refilled) and cut new 2” strips.  The mustard/gold is a favorite color of my sister, so I included it as the alternate color.  She helped choose the rusty brown binding while they were visiting last week.



The backing is a fabric I dyed just for this little boy as he loves green.

The pattern is Rick Rack Nines by Bonnie Hunter.  I adjusted it to a 70” by 60” (or so) quilt.  Great size for almost three with plenty of room to grow!

The colors in your backing fabric are just perfect for that cute quilt. You are a good dyer!

August Block Count

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
