Kaffe Fasset Nine Patches
&
The Continuation of Swedish Death Cleaning My Sewing Rooms
The second shoe box was about half full of 2.5" squares I'd cut to make these nine patches sometime in the past 10 years. There were about 9 done, and I think I made about 57 using all the squares up. My plan now is to add brightly colored solid setting triangles between the rows to resemble zigzags.
I remember shopping with a friend many years ago, and she loved the Kaffe fabrics. She would enjoy these wild fabrics a lot. I'll make it my way, and hope she likes it.
Years ago I would try very hard to make quilts for people that they might specifically like, and they may even have contributed ideas. Maybe it was a specific color or theme but so often it was something just out of my wheelhouse. Not all, but many of those times I wound up not enjoying the project. I've learned to make what I like. It makes the whole thing fun if love the fabric, the style, and even the vibe. There's almost nothing worse than investing your time and effort--and money, into a project you don't love. Life is short. Quilting should be fun.
Come on, Doxie girls.
Let's go sew.
