gathering patches......

gather up your last thirty-five nine patch blocks......
add......
sashing strips 1&3/4" wide between blocks and rows..... not to complicate but to add a little primitive character, my row on the right side is a bit different, one piece of sashing between top & second block is only 1&1/2" wide.....added another row of patches to very top block, mostly has been chopped off but you can see a hint of it...... also the sashing strip between the fourth and fifth row was cut 2" wide......
the borders were cut 2&1/2" wide......



enjoy

p.s. added a little primitive applique to one of these gathering patches quilts and will be posting it as a primitive giveaway tomorrow......

gathering patches......

start cutting 1&1/4" wide strips......

start piecing them into nine patch blocks.....

i'm "cough, cough" "sneeze, sneeze" "sniffle, sniffle" "stitch, stitching" the finishing touches on three little antique quilt inspired primitive quilts, all using nine patch blocks......
yes i do have a bit of a cold and it's taking a little longer to get these done, blowing my nose constantly doesn't help but i am persevering......


so hopefully all will be done and ready for a sew-a-long starting next week......
how many nine patch blocks?
well the first uses five, the second twelve and the third thirty- five, think that adds up to fifty-two......they are all just whatever in color, just that all over scrappy look......
enjoy cheri
