“O Thou who art the all pervading glory of the world, we bless Thee for the power of beauty to gladden our hearts.
We praise Thee that even the least of us may feel a thrill of the creative joy when we give form and substance to our thoughts and, beholding our handiwork, find it good and fair. “.

"Come, and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what He has done for me.
I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the LORD woud not have listened and heard my voice in prayer.
Praise be to God, Who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!" Psalm 66:16-20

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 !

    I love you quilt. It is a wonderful way to use up scraps. I have always like 9 patch blocks. My friends called me the Nine patch queen after I started teaching a 9 patch color wash class from my designs.
