HI everyone!! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!! Remember the nine patch exchange? Well, I am really trying to finish all those nine patches into finished quilts. Betsy Chutchian recently wrote a quilting book, "Gone to Texas", featuring her quilts inspired by her Great, great grandmother's quilts. Betsy happens to work at our local quilt shop, and I have seen her original quilt...and it is gorgeous! Her fantastic quilt is a nine patch, with 6 inch blocks! Well....I just happen to have some of those, LOL!! So, I am making a very scrappy looking quilt. All the pieces are cut...just need the sewing time!!!Have a super day!!

Super cute!!
Wow! this is going to be so pretty!!! You really are a 'power-house' in full production mode! I wish I could fit that into my schedule, so I will enjoy your journey instead!!!!
Lookin' good! I bet it'll be fabulous when it's done. I have a couple designs in my head for my nine patches. Now I just need to find the time to sit down with them.
I have yet to do my nine patches up. But I am going to. I think like your previous nine patch, I really liked that!
Lordy girly is it summer in Texas or what! Try to stay cool!
Love this scrappy look. Thanks for sharing it!!
Love this one, Julie!!! My 9 patches wait. Sigh! :-)
Cool, nine patch swaps are so much fun!Your looks great.
When you find the sewing time tell me where I can find some too. I love this nine patch variation, it will be GREAT!
I cherish the 9 patches that we all swapped! Your project looks great, love those x blocks alternating.
Love those gorgeous fabrics and don't they just sing when put together - it's looking great
nothing better then nine patches, I just made a quilt inspired by Betsy's too!

I have that book, and I LOVE it!!!!! I am planning on making Kristine one of the quilts from it- I just can't decide which one... She's leaving for Dallas next Sunday to spend two months with her Daddy and Mutti.
Your quilt will be gorgeous!
OMG I love it...I've drooled over that quilt...I still have my 9 patches...may I be a copy cat...please????
I love the way this design looks!
great blocks. they work really well together!
Love this layout. Must be a great book. ;)
I like the traditional look of nine patches. Very sweet! FYI - I'm having a give away over at Quilt Talk, so please stop by. :)
Oh Wow! I make 9-patches in all kinds of sizes, compulsively. I tell myself I am using up scraps but I think I just like them. What I have never been wild about is all-over-9-patch designs. Now I have a new plan. Thank You!
Love Betsy and Gone to Texas book. Your quilt will be great when finished. Can't wait to see pictures of completed quilt someday.

I love it already! :)
Love those 9 patches. I am still using mine but almost used up. I have had so much fun making cute table toppers and doll quilts with them. We have you to thank for the wonderful exchange and organizing the swap for all of your followers.
Now another inspiring quilt is about to happen with your patches!
Thanks for sharing, Carolyn
Awesome! That will be a great quilt! And I love that book! Her grandmother would be proud!
This quilt is going to be a beauty. I just love those fabrics that you chose. I'll be keeping tabs on your blog and watching your progress.
Oh I love it so far! What a great idea!
This looks like it's going to be my kind of quilt....love it.
Wonderful - I really love the layout!
Hugs - Lurline♥
