Protest to Winter

 Planning ahead with my quilting projects

is not something I usually do,

but last month I had made a list of quilts

I want to make this year.

One of the quilts was made using 9 patches

in solid fabrics, along with some other blocks.

 

After pulling out my solid fabrics,

I cut a bunch of 2 1/2" squares with my

Accuquilt cutter and was ready to do some

mindless sewing.

 

The 9 patches were made and placed on my design wall.

After making a bunch of them,

I decided to change my plans and make something simpler.

Now I needed a fabric to alternate with the 9 patch blocks.

To the quilt shop I went.

 

My thought was to find a neutral fabric, maybe white

with some colorful polka dots or design.

I carried my 9 patches around the quilt shop

and found this fabric.

 

 

 

 

 

It was perfect!

It has all of the colors I used in the 9 patches

and has so much movement to it.

It isn't for the faint of heart, though!

Another quilter saw me put the 9 patches

with this fabric in the quilt shop

and said she loved it together.

SOLD!
I'm not the only crazy one. :)

(My daughter asked me what drugs I was taking

when I was shopping for the fabric.:D) 

 

 

 

 

I'm calling it "Protest to Winter" because

it's nothing like what I am seeing out my windows right now.

It's drab, blah and white outside and I need color!

 

This will be simply quilted... it doesn't need anything else!

 

Happy Quilting!
