Finished Split Nine Patch Quilt

Another Friday, another finish :)  This is the Split Nine Patch I have been working on for a few weeks.  It was based on this one from a do. good Stitches circle.  It has already been gifted and is in use at its new home!

This is the second quilt I have made with this color scheme (first was the Squirrely Triangles quilt) and I am starting to run low on these colors.  I still haven't grown tired of it, though.

This quilt includes one of my favorite prints of all time, this one from Tula Pink's Saltwater collection, along with a lot of scraps from Hawthorne Threads scrap packs.  Happily, all the white in this quilt was gathered from scraps!

I quilted it with what is rapidly becoming one of my favorite FMQ designs, the square spiral from Angela Walter's book.  It makes a good alternative to stippling for equally dense and quick quilting.

The quilt finished at a little over 65" square.  I had initially intended to make it bigger but thought better of it, so the last 3 nine patches ended up on the back. I think I like the back almost as well as the front!

It's bound with a yellow solid, washed, dried and ready for use.

The WIPs are multiplying (again!)

It's design wall Monday, time to take account of the WIPs!  There are two projects currently swapping out on my design wall.  First off is the Texas Quilt Along.

I made a rose block for Tyler this week. The next city block, for Fort Worth, will be up on the 12th.

I am also working on this split nine patch for a friend's house warming party.  This one is based on a quilt I saw at do. Good Stitches here.  I have 3 more blocks to go on this one.
