NINE PATCHES

I have never made nine patches in my life and after making all of them for this quilt, I may never make any again. These have been the most time consuming things I have ever done. This is the start of Bonnie Hunter's Carolina Crossroads.

DD lost her position as Fine Arts teacher due to budget cuts. However, they offered her the position as Head Start Teacher for the next year. She is not the happiest camper about this but is determined to do a good job with 20 (3, 4 & 5 yr olds) kids. Found this I Spy panel in my stash to make her a wall hanging for the kids to learn alphabet, colors and objects.





Then found this alphabet fabric that I plan to cut and stuff each letter for them to be able to attach letter to picture.
Lots to do before school starts and I leave for quilt camp in Indiana.

Your nine-patches look perfect! I love pink and green together. Can wait to see you at camp!

That was supposed to say "can't" wait to see you. Jeesh.

I love the 9-patches . . . quilt will be stunning! Gee . . . might have to look in my stash and see what I can pull together to make one of these sometime! I still have my own nine-patches to assemble for Double Delight!
