decided to make nine patches with the Minick and Simpson Fabrics, the jelly rolls are perfect for just cutting and sewing these blocks. I can really see the benefit to jelly rolls for this type of project. Its so nice that their fabric lines all play so nice together!
I can't wait to add more blocks to this quilt, its going to be perfect to use during the summer months.
fell in love with this little quilt Cyndi made! Isn't it wonderful??? again its all about the fabrics! Lucky her she owns Busy thimble quilt shop in Maine and from what I hear has an incredible selection of reproduction fabrics. Someday I will get there and get to shop in person for now I shop thru emails with her! Looking for an older fabric email her I bet she just may have some!

I love how your nine-patches are coming along! I have a huge batch of 6" ones from an exchange at my club in both '30's and civil-wars. I keep wanting to play something exotic with them, when your just looks fab on their own! Another one on my bucket list! :-D

Love how your 9 patches are coming together...love those fabrics...I never get tired of them. I was in Cyndi's shop last fall...it's amazing! I could have stayed there for 3 days!
That's a whole wall of wonderful!
Great way to use those MS fabrics! I too love Cyndi's quilt. The borders and sashing fabrics are so wonderful. I may have to go shopping with her after this comment.
Look at all those wonderful 9 patches. That is going to be beautiful!! Do you know I've never thought of using jelly rolls for 9 patches. I'm going to look at Cyndi's quilt now.
Awesome nine patches, Kathie!
The nice patches look wonderful with those colors.
Mine are similar, so deciding on one larger quilt or a couple of smaller quilts, since some fabric is bright, some prim.

Wow you work fast! It will be a lovely quilt for summer. I love Minick and Simpson fabric.
This is going to make a stunning quilt!
What a great quilt in my fav colors!!
Liking those 9 patches.....
A design wall of gorgeousness!!! This quilt is going to be stunning!!!
I like the way this is coming along. Now I might be inspired to use up some of my one-inch squares
You are right, it is all about the fabrics...what a fun quilt this will be.
I'm loving the way the fabrics look in nine patches. Jelly rolls can be really useful for this type of quilt. Cyndi's little quilt is gorgeous.
Wow the fabric she used for the sashing really sets this little quilt off. I hope she had enough of it to send to you :0) The one time I used a jelly roll I found that the cuts weren't always correct so I don't buy them anymore.

You just can't go wrong with 9 patches. They are so versatile but easy.
