I got a little time to sew this week! I have seen lots of pretty split nine patch blocks over the years and decided to make some this year. I think I'll dig a little farther into the blue box and make some more of these.
I sewed up the kites from last week and might make a couple more of these as well. I do love how easy these are to make with the dies.
I have had these extra quarter square triangles leftover from the Sweet Confetti blocks just sitting around and waiting in a basket next to my sewing machine. I was able to use some 2 inch white strips to make the flying geese wings with my ruler. I sewed these together, but I might take them apart and pop them into groups of 2 instead and see what will happen to them once all of them are sewn into geese. I'm thinking a nice little wall hanging or some placemats?
Linking up with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge on Saturday.
Lovely blue blocks for RSC Deb;))) I really like those split 9-patches...so pretty
ReplyDeleteIt has been gray, raw and rainy here today--AGAIN!!
And tomorrow is predicted to be the same...
Meanshile...my daughter chose a good week to vacation in the Caribbean...she's been sending me photos of her swimming in the pool and ocean and wearing shorts and sleeveless tees--NOT FAIR!! Seriously, I am happy for her---she works two jobs and is a hard worker...
Hugs, Julierose

ReplyDeleteLovely blocks!
ReplyDeleteSuper blocks! I’m doing those same Split Nines again this year too! Great minds…. LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks, Deb! I like your Split 9s with the center as a square rather than an HST - I made mine with a center HST. Now I'm rethinking that!
ReplyDeleteNice work using up some BLUE scraps, Deb! I'm a big fan of the Split 9-Patch block. One of these days, it will feature in my own RSC sewing.
ReplyDeleteThe split nine patches is fun to make and a great way to use up scraps. You just keep on making blocks, before you know it you have enough to make a king size quilt.

ReplyDeleteI am seeing lots of split nine patches this year. So many great ways to set it. Hard to go wrong with a blue flying geese placemat. I am sure they will be put to good use somewhere.
