FINISH---Baby Nines

My latest finish, "Baby Nines", after laundering.

 

(Before laundering) 

I pieced these little nine-patch blocks over a matter of weeks, accumulating enough to try a design for a quilt top.  I was inspired by this nine-patch quilt design (below photo) that was shared by Fons and Porter.

 Somehow, as time passed, the original design left my head, or I couldn't come up with the right fabrics, so I came up with my own alternate setting.  I was really surprised, after finishing mine, to run across this photo (above) and see how far I had strayed.

 Still, I think that mine came out very nicely, and with the cream-colored flannel back, it is really a snuggly love.  It finished at around 42 inches by 54 inches, and I gifted it as a lap warmer for a homebound friend of mine.  She loved it !
