A LITTLE TEASER

I’ve spent the evening working with my Chocolat charm squares (prints and plaids). I’ve already made thirty (30) 3 ½” nine patches. Oh, they are so cute! I’m showing you a picture of some of the itty bitty nine patches – in my new project I will only be using the ones with the dark corners so I’m tossing the others in a basket. A project for those will come along someday! Tomorrow I have to go out to meet with some clients so I plan to stop by my LQS to purchase more plaid charm squares (I only had one pack).

By the way – I’ve been making my itty bitty nine patches out of the charm squares following the tutorial here. (be sure to scroll down the page)

More tomorrow!

I have collected stacks of those 5" charm packs for quite a while and I now have some ideas for use! I am so happy to have found your blog so that I can come here for some new ideas! Great blog. :)

Those little nine patches are so cute. Can't wait to see what you have in mind for them.

Marvelous! I love making little 9-patches that size. There are so many things to do with them. The only catch - of course - is that it takes so very many!

Carole said...

I'm really impressed with what you do with so little. Somehow I feel I need at least 1/4 yard to be creative. lol I'm betting that you must not have a lot of scrap fabric. I do like what you do with your charm squares. Thanks for sharing.

Madam Estrella, my local fortune teller, says that there will be a Chocolat quilt in my very near future. Isn't that just the most beautiful fabric collection?

Judy said...

I've always loved this line of fabric! Looking very good!

Libby said...

Okay - you have sold me on the charm packs *s* I know just what I want to make - at trip to the quilt shop Wednesday evening and I will be in business. You are a bad influence *s*

Love the little nine-patches. They're adorable.

Wendy said...

Fantastic nine patches, can't wait to see more.

I love 9 patch quilts! I've seen these directions before but haven't tried them yet. I usually end up strip piecing my blocks.

Cute blocks :-)

Thanks for the tutorial. Also the sight. I found exactly what I needed for a guild challenge.
