Alycia Quilts - Quiltygirl: Bordered 9 Patch

Friday, July 28, 2023

Framed 9 patch top and!! Finished!!! ( or not!) Friday!

Happy Friday!!!

I have been working on my Jelly roll quilt and now!! it is in Top Form!!!

When I first posted about this quilt I thought I would get 42 blocks out of my Jelly roll - as I just assumed that a roll had 42 pieces in it - Imagine my surprise when I ended up with only 40 blocks!

One of you should have pointed out my math error. just sayin' .....

A trip down to the fabric area was required.... and then I got lost - and I think I have started 14 more projects... but!!! I did end up with 2 more 2 1/2 inch strips that I thought would work to fill the holes..

You just know I had to add a piece of plaid!! Who will know that I made it if I don't!! ( and no Joy - I don't think I will ever run out of plaid in this century!!!)

Then it was off to rearrange the colors a bit...

and now!!!!

Framed 9 Patch is all ready to quilt!!

You will note all three of my clamps? My Margarita ones had a hard time getting over the wood - the Flamingo did not - he was a rock star - but! There was also a construction clamp that wanted to get in on the action ..... Bwahh hahaha!!!

and now it is your turn!!

Show off what you did this week? What did you finish, make progress on, start? Show it off!!

A Jelly Roll quilt

I am getting a late start today!!! But not really, I was outside with the horses and working and oh my!! you all people who live in the constant humidity... I DO NOT envy you!!! I am so glad for rain, but the humidity.... I am wilting haha!!!

I started a new thing!!!!

I was rearranging my piles of fabrics and I found a Jelly Roll - and I said to myself

"Self!!! Find a pattern and lets go!!!"

And so I did

I found this Bordered 9 patch at MSQC - and off I went....

The blocks take a little bit of time ( for me!! I want quick and easy) but they are not hard - and I find that if I work in 2 or 4 at a time - they go pretty quick!!

In my head it will be 6 x 7 blocks ( as I think I get one block per strip - and I Think I have 42 strips)

Now!! It is off to shower and start the next part of the day! I am going to give a shameless plug though - Amazon Days is July 11 and 12 - and I love sales.... but I want you to know about these amazing

Waterpik Shower heads...They will be on sale - and you will want one ( or two)
