This was a very quick quilt to make....
because I used VERY big blocks of color!!
I only had to make FIVE of these nine patches
using 9" squares of fabric.
It all began with some orange fabric I liked.
I pulled some more oranges
and placed them in the corners.
I wanted those squares to be UN-CUT.
I placed a dark POP! of color in the center....
FOUR light colors in between....
I sewed these big nine patches together..
and then...
....I did some cutting.
Since I used 9" squares...
I measured 4 1/4" from each seam.
TWO cuts.
Easy. ;)
I also needed to trim each of these squares once they were all cut.
It really helps things match up when you
SQUARE UP!!!
After moving blocks around....I put it ALL together!
The colors in here are so fun!!!
Polka dots always help too!!!
A simple 2 1/2" wide sashing....
and a 6" wide piano key border.....
VIOLA!!!
a very QUICK quilt
measuring 65"x76"
