"UNCLE"
That’s what my sewing machine has said this evening! LOL I’ve been working my little buddy really hard today. I managed to finish my project with the mini nine patches. I had to run to the quilt store late this afternoon to get the brown border fabric. I had blue in mind but I believe the brown worked much better!
I can’t take credit for this one; it’s called “Garden Patch” from Simple Traditions by Kim Diehl (That Patchwork Place). In the book the outer border has a beautiful appliqué design but I decided a plain border would do just fine!
Decision, decisions – what’s next. Pondering if I should continue with my quest to use up my 5” charm packs or dig deeper for a project. In the meantime my sewing machine is taking a much needed break. LOL

It looks great without the applique border too. I love Kim Diehls books. Looking forward to see what you are going to do next. What about your AD blocks?? How are they doing??? LOL
Your mini nine patch turned out SEW PRETTY :o) The brown bodrer looks great, really compliments the fabrics in the blocks! Congratulations on finishing a beutiful top!
You have certainly been sewing up a storm lately. Keep up the work. I love to see your finished quilts.
What a great quilt! I love the brown border - that was a perfect choice.
Love that quilt Darlene! Also your 16 patch turned out great! You are definately over your slump!
I LOVE it and you know the brown border would always be my choice.
Gorgeous, Darlene! Another quilt for me to comfort me in my harrowing times of being fat!! You are such a dear friend!! ROFLLLLLL And you know that I LOVE all of Kim Diehl's quilts (a belated b'day giftie for moi???) (howling with laughter) Seriously, it is a beautiful quilt and IMHO you couldn't have done better than the brown border!!
Ohhhhh, woooooowwww, that is sweet. I have that book. Isn't wonderful? I just love her work. I have fabric for a couple of projects, but that doesn't count as UFO's does it? Oh I'm in so much trouble! lol Very nice quilt, I do like those colours. As for my machine saying "uncle", I solved the problem by buying another machine ;o)! Keep well!
great quilt! the border works perfectly!
Your quilts looks so good - both this and the one in the previous post. Your smile is shining all the way here and your attitude is catching. You are really going like the wind Darlene :-)
Just Beautiful! I love it.
Yep - I love it *s*
I love this quilt. I made one with browns last year and was surpised at how much I liked it! Beautiful job!
Two wow quilts in a row. You are going great guns.
I simply MUST get downstairs to my machine.
The brown really pulls it all together. Your quilts are inspiring. I'm thinking of trying your 16 patch, its wonderful.
You did good - the brown is perfect (and this coming from a "blue" person). I just love Kim Diehl's books, too.
Great quilt. The brown border is perfect for it. My vote is to keep using up the charm packs - I getting inspired by all you are doing :))
Nine patch quilts are my favorites and yours is simply gorgeous.
Love those plaids in the nine patch. The brown border is a good choice as well as going without the applique (mind you, that would have been nice too). Love your work!
Oh Darlene, I just love it! Now I have to get that book out and look at it again. I love yours!
Your quilts are inspiring! If you need a new project, come to my house....plenty of Works-in-Progress. One of them is bound to be just what you're looking for....Here from Diana.
Oh my, Darlene - I just ADORE this quilt! All the right kinds of perfect fabrics that I love. I never thought of combining big nine patches with the same size double nine patch blocks - what a GREAT idea! I'm tucking this one in my inspirational folder. It is wonderful!
Hi and thanks for visiting my blog!
I had to come and look at your version of the Kim Diehl quilt and I love the colours you used. I think the brown print border works really well with it and it's amazing how different it makes the quilt look!

I just saw your comment on my blog (I'm at work so I can't get into my mailbox and write back). Thanks for telling me about this--maybe that's what I'll have to do! Do you mind if I copy you, sort of?! I have one charm pack of the prints and something like three packs of the plaids and then some yardage. Great idea!
