What is it about green and pink together that I just love ? Ever since I saw this quilt from Taryn's antique quilt collection I knew I wanted to make it. I emailed Taryn and asked her if she would mind if I made a quilt inspired by her antique quilt. I was thrilled she said YES!
here is the start of mine! I really should be working on a few other projects I have started but well....Pink and Green and Nine patches I just had to start it! I know this quilt will never become a ufo, it feels good to be so inspired again by an antique quilt.
I am waiting on some black fabrics I ordered to use for the blades of the quilt Victorian Hexagon quilt along with Sujata and Barbara Brackman, I decided I wanted to go bold and use the black vs the grey I showed in a previous post.
Have you been following Donna's blog Quilting on the Mon...what a collection of antique quilts she has. The past few are amazing, I am still dreaming of the turkey red quilt a few posts back, the stars and then the blue and white quilt....
Did you see Liz's finished red and white quilt???? I really think simple blocks can shine in a quilt, just look at this one of hers, so graphic. I can't wait to see how she quilts it.

Who would have ever thunk that a pink and green quilts would be so darn pretty. Love it!
Ohh, you have been busy!!!
Loooove the green!
...and you are tempting me to start another quilt!! Must resist!!
great quilt! Love this layout for a nine patch quilt!
I agree...the pink and green together is absolutely wonderful!
I love this quilt, too! Always love a 9-patch and I love the hourglasses that appear when alternating the placement of the HSTs.
I always thought is was the girl in me that drew me to pink and green. Whatever it is, I can't resist it. I love the way your quilt is turning out.
This is going to be terrific!
What a great way to use up scraps and have an antique looking quilt. Love pink and green together!
This is just beautiful! What a lovely setting.
That is such a wonderful setting and perfect for the humble 9 patch!!
I love how this scrappy quilt is turning out! I've always been a fan of Pink & Green - it's just so fresh and wonderful!
I am also a fan of pink and green.Yours looks great!

I fell in love with the quilt when I saw it on Taryn's blog. I can completely understand why you dropped other projects and started this one.
Donna's blog is amazing, love the quilts. I am very excited to say that she has agreed to come to our quilt study group's summer picnic. So, looking forward to that!
This is going to be a hummmm-dinger of a quilt! Love the colors and prints too!

You know I love the 9 patch too, and LOVE this pink & green setting! You have me wanting to stop what I'm doing and start another 9 patch! Now, I'm going to Taryn's blog to see the antique, I hesitate, because I know if you loved it, I will too.... and then my present focus will be lost to the 9 patch! :) Thanks for all the interesting links.
The pink/green combo is such a classic, and your progress so far is looking wonderful! It'll look spectacular when its done!!
oh, love that one.
I love your version! The original is simply wonderful - very inspirational! I bet it's lots of fun to work on :0)
WOW! I never thought of putting the pink and greens together. I love it. And, of course, I never saw a 9 patch I didn't love... Nice project.
Always fun to see what you're up to on your design wall. Very inspiring...0
You've got a humdinger there, Kathie! Such a delightful collection of random fabrics in the 9-patch blocks juxtaposed with the backdrop of fresh green and pink. Wonderful.
And yes, Liz's red and white quilt is stunning!
I fell for that quilt too. Have saved a picture for the future. Maybe one day...
Kathy those blocks are so bright and happy for a Monday morning. I love the pink/green combo as well.
That quilt is going to be gorgeous. Love those sparkles of nine patches.
Thanks for plugging the quilt-along. Can I add your name tot he list or would you like me to wait until you start?
this is great!
years ago I made a 9-p with black and pink HST - so fun! I love yours with the green!
Love it! It's going to be a much loved quilt for sure!
yours is going to be beautiful as is the original~!

i was taking a closer look at what you were using as your light fabrics within the nine patches and if i'm not mistaken you have even pieced some of those blocks . . . ?
i love the way this technique takes a cue from many true antiques and uses all the tiny bits up.
:-)
You always pass on great inspiration, whether something you're working on or a suggestion to check out what somebody else has to share.
I remember a favorite dress from my childhood that was pink and green, so that combo has a special place in my heart too.
This is gorgeous! I have a BAG of 3.5 9-patches that have just been WAITING for a project. Hmmmmmmmmmm.
It is truely gorgeous - certainly worth all the effort - the colours work well and the overall effect is great. Well done! Angie
Wonderful...worth getting obsessed about!
Wow, you've been busy! thanks for sharing.
