February Sun

I am working on using my 5" precut fabric.  Every time I have a sewing or quilting project that has left over fabric I cut the remaining fabric into 5" squares, 2 1/2" strips, or 2 1/2" squares.  That way I have containers of precut sizes to use whenever the desire strikes me to quilt.  OK, OK, that's most of the time, but you would be amazed at how many quilts you can get from one small container of fabric pieces.

Any way, I bought a couple of bolts of yellow print fabric a few years ago, yellow not being a major color in my color wheel for sewing, and I decided I was going to use some of it in this quilt.

I used the Tossed Nine Patch or Split Nine Patch pattern.  Every center square was a red block so that when the 9 patch block was sub-cut there would be a 2 1/2" red block in each corner of the sub-cut block.  I used the yellow print in the border, backing, and the matching pillowcase.  Still have about a bolt & a half of yellow left (another project on the horizon).

Next up is an order for an over sized twin quilt for a boy.  Just got the fabric for the center of the quilt top.  Cannot wait to start the quilt.

Happy quilting to all!

Split or Tossed 9 Patch pattern.  White sashing is made from 2 1/2" strips.
