wintersweet quilt - take two


I was never totally happy with my version earlier in the year of my "wintersweet' quilt, pattern by Jo from frankieandray and so, when I pulled out a little pile of 9-patch blocks from the cupboard, I decided to make another version.

On their own, they all looked a bit uninspiring. As I didn't want to waste them all, I added in an assortment of other fabrics from my stash and made up lots more 9-patches. I was trying to be mindful of getting some cohesion happening with all these assorted blocks, but other than playing with the light/medium/dark options, I just went for it.

. . .  and again, it's not completely like the pattern, but I think it's certainly got Jo's informal scrapalicious vintage feel to it.  Linking up this week with Kelly for 'needle and thread Thursday' here. Until next time, Linda

it looks so very nice and vintage. It would be a perfect beach quilt too I think with those colors

This is a wonderful quilt full of scrappy goodness with a wonderful vintage look. I want to run home from work and start making scrappy 9 patches now. But alas, my boss would not be too pleased...

I love the way you play with florals! After admiring your scrappy gorgeousnesses I checked my own stash and found that I don't have many florals - clearly they've been escaping my notice when I fabric shop. I will now remedy this!

Always love your combination of colours and fabrics.

I now realise why I seem to becoming confused and not leaving comments - it's because I also see posts on Instagram! Nevertheless I love this bright and happy quilt!
