Mary's Nine-Patch

Mary made this cute quilt. I don't know the name, but I'm sure it has something to do with twisted 9-patches.
I didn't take a closeup of the top and bottom borders, but if you look close you can see that the triangles that she whacked off the 9-patch blocks make up those borders. Ingenious!

I rather like how the quilting design mimics the swirly things from afar. I chose Turbulence panto, Honey PermaCore thread and Hobbs 80/20 batting.

Virginia's Nine Patches

Virginia made this big quilt for a friend, I think. Her stash must be incredible and she has such a great eye for putting fabrics together. There are a lot of calicos in this one, but some modern fabrics too, and they all play well together.

I chose a small meander in the sashing and Continuous Curves in the blocks. These designs work well with the quilt and I was able to go from one edge of the quilt to the other in one pass.

White Omni thread and Poly batting.

Janet's 9-patch

Janet started this 9-patch at our retreat in St. Louis in June. It's for her new grandson, born just a couple weeks ago.

 I quilted it with Popcorn,  Omni White thread, and used Hobbs 80/20 batting

I did the quilting the day before he was born and started the binding for her. She finished it up the day he was born.

Cute as can be and made with love by his grandma!

Beverly's Antique 9-Patch

This quilt took me a very long time to finish. I just wasn't into it, I guess. She wanted a little something in each nine patch and Dan suggested 8-petal flowers. That works for me, but isn't very interesting and I could only do a row and then had to step away. It does look a bit better to me seeing the entire quilt as I can now see a pattern, sort-of!

Here's the back, which I rather like:
