Lavendar/Peach 9 Patch Quilt

 

Lavendar/Peach Quilt

     Back in about 2001 I was in a 9 patch club at Barrington Sewing Center.  Every month or so we learned about a new 9 patch quilt.  At the time I bought the fabrics and started on the quilt but then put it away.

Block detail

Border/binding detail

     The quilt had nine patch blocks, half snowball blocks and a kind of nine patch block.  I pulled the partially finished quilt top out of my stash and worked on it at retreat in March 2023.  In August I finally had time to add the borders.

Back

Quilting detail

     In February of 2025 I was finally able to get it quilted.  I didn't have quite enough of the solid purple in my stash for the backing so I added another purple print from my stash to make the backing large enough.  We chose a pretty vine pattern and a peachy colored thread for the quilting.  

Label 1

Label 2

     Since this took so long and it was not an easy pattern, I found a fun label to sew out for the back that I thinks sums up my experience with this quilt.  I have since learned a lot about color and would have made other choices to showcase the pattern better.  Others in my ASG group disagreed and said they liked the soft overall effect.
