I was the very lucky winner this month of Cheri's (quiltsbycheri) little quilt .  Each month she has shared a free pattern for a little quilt and then gave that quilt away this year.  I feel so lucky to have won this one...nine patches, just so me!  and then there are a few surprises in the quilt when you look at the quilt....look she used a light instead of a dark in that center nine patch!  just makes me smile.

 look a little harder and see the 4 patch on the left instead of a nine patch, just makes me smile!

Here is the start of the pattern thats free on Cheri's blog, the directions are in a few blog posts.
go back and read her blog and you will find many other little quilts and free patterns.
I have been a huge fan of Cheri's work and own many of those manila envelope patterns  Its such an honor to own one of her quilts.  Thank you Cheri.

 Here is the quilt on my design wall.  yes that means my design wall is empty!  the toile quilt is a top and ready to go Lorre's to get machine quilted.

Now doesn't this look like a great pile of scraps????  Ok wouldn't you love to have this arrive in a box to your door?  who wouldn't!  Cyndi from Busy Thimble Quilt Shop in Maine  (my go to quilt shop when I need a reproduction  fabric I ran out of or I need help with selecting another fabric to use to reproduce an antique quilt I send her pictures she sends me fabric that always works in my projects)
