Yesterday I finished my nine patch quilt top.
The quilt has a spring feeling to it. I didn't have to buy any fabrics for this top. It is made from fabrics I had in my fabric closet.
I loved to dig through my stash for the soft and light colors. The border is begging for a feather quilt pattern don't you think?

Lucy, this is beautiful! How wonderful that you were able to use your stash for this project. The triangles in the border really add to the charm.
Lucy,
Love the way you pieced the border. It really enhances the nine-patch blocks.
It's really beautiful, very fresh and delicate looking. I love nine patch blocks. I would love to try this on a smaller scale sometime.

It's so lovely!
Lovely quilt, such a soft look. I think feathers would be a great way to quilt the borders. Congrats on using your stash for this one.
Such a pretty fresh looking quilt, Lucy! I am glad for this finish for you...the hand quilting is the most fun!
I love the fabric you used in the plain blocks and border. It will be a darling quilt, lovely to look at. Enjoy the quilting.
Oh Lucy it is so pretty! I love the piecced borders so much - a perfect spot to quilt some lovely feathers!
How beautiful! I agree that it is has a spring feel to it.
Hij is super en past goed bij vandaag. groetjes ineke
It is beautiful!
Erg mooi geworden en ik ben weg van de border! En de keuze van je tussenblokken is ook verassend.

Leuke quilt. En lapjes gebruiken uit voorraad geeft altijd zo'n goed gevoel.
Another lovely quilt. I like it very much.
Beautiful as always. Did you hand piece this one?
So pretty Lucy - the simplest designs are often the most effective and i love the fabric you've used for the large squares
There is something really nice about nine patch quilts, but this tops the list, yes to the feather border!
Beautiful Lucy, I just love the simple fresh colours and the red check/blue border/background is stunning! Just Gorgeous!!
The stitchery on my header is Rose Quaker by Stickideen von der Wiehenberg . I am using Vintage Mocha linen 32ct and the recommended DMC threads, it is a very nice pattern and thank you for your compliment. Ann
l love everything about this quilt. Its colors, its border, and the pretty counterpane fabric!!
Wat een mooie toch maar weer. Vind je border met die drie hoekjes gewoon te gek. Ben heel benieuwd hoe je de blauwe tussen blokken gaat quilten, de nine blokjes vast diagonaal {vind ik persoonlijk altijd het mooist}
Fijne zondag en veel fietsplezier met dit mooie weer.
Groetjes,
Marga♥
I love this quilt..beautiful and fresh..

I love your border triangles too!
Oh I just love it! It's beautiful and has a vintage feel to it. Gorgeous...no pressure but I can't wait to see it quilted :)
Smiles, DianeM
P.S. - it's perfect for your blog header too.
Very fresh and pretty. I really like your choice of red gingham points around the border!
I happened upon your blog through the "view next blog" button tonight and your photographs took my breath away! You not only do lovely work but you have an eye for beauty!! Just wanted to say, lovely blog!
The triangles on the border turn a simple quilt into something very special.
This is really beautiful. Enjoy your hand quilting.
There's nothing like a great nine patch quilt. I LOVE yours. It is so different. I recognize the plain block fabric. I sold bolts and bolts of it at my shoppe by Minnick and Simpson. I never would have put it with this and yet...it is what makes the quilt. I love how we learn from others and grow in our own quilting process! Awesome job!
I am amazed by the softness of your quilt! Your banner is so beautiful! Congratulations!
I who am in a dark period in my quilts you make me want to pastel colors! Thank you Lucy you dream quilters around the world! Mamifleur ( Embruns et petits points blog )
Oh! It will be so soothing for you to quilt this one. It is so serene and cheerful! I keep looking at the pictures - they put a smile on my face.
As always, you inspire me, Lucy. Your quilt is amazing! I love it!
you know how much I LOVE this quilt...its just so me, nine patches! I really love how you did the border and using that red check for the triangles, perfect!!!!
I am happy for you that your finished and ready to hand quilt it this winter....

All your quilts have a special charm in them... A bitlike what you feel when you see an antique quilt. I agree with you... it needs to be hand-quilted. The choice of the sawtooth border makes it very unique. As always, it is very inspiring.
Your quilt is lovely! I love the soft print fabric you chose for the alternating blocks and the triangles in the border. Beautiful job!
Just beautiful, Lucy: Timeless! There is nothing like a nine-patch, :) I just finished a 36-patch and totally recognize that yearning for hand-quilting it! Enjoy en veel geluk! :)
9 patch: Simple but perfect. Nice job here. Very pretty.
Lucy, I absolutely love your nine patch quilt! Very inspirational. Thanks for sharing it! It will be lovely hand quilted.
Pleasing to the eye and to the heart.
It's such a lovely fresh looking quilt. I love the border and you can't beat the appeal of a great nine patch.
This is stunning! Your colour choices are perfect...as always! Thanks for sharing :o)
P.S. Love the new blog banner...very sweet.
you got a warm blog
love it :D
Your quilt is beautiful ! I love everything : colors, border and the look so fresh and warmful.
Very pretty! Hugs, Mary
Brilliant work, Lucy. You make me want to drag my stash out and make my own ninepatch. Thank you for shering photos of it with us. Good luck on the quilting:-)
