Our next quilt. Some ideas.


We could use 4" squares and make 9-patch quilts; they would be about 45 x 59 inches, sort of kid-size. It would be 13 squares wide and 17 squares long. The "x" spots could be dark prints and the "o" spots could be light prints. The squares with no marks (borders and sashing) could be ???? muslin, black, a solid? We could each make twelve 9-patches, then trade six...like we did with Natalie's baby quilts. I'm blanking on colors or even color ideas. What do you think?

Oh. Maybe you should check my math and logic.

Love it. Very easy and good use of stash. Let's do the dark and light and not worry about specific colors. Can we do a total scrappy look?

Very daring... no color scheme at all, right? Just light and dark prints for the 9-patch squares. Should we talk deadlines? (A word I just hate these days, btw.) Maybe aim for late July/early Aug to finish the 12 9-patches?

I hate the word as well, but let's say late July/early August and see how we do. I predict that once I begin this project I will keep going. We'll see...
