quilts for those affected by the terrible bust fires in Australia.

And Now There Are Three from Life in the Scrapatch



Three Scrappy Nine Patch Blocks


This first block was made nine months ago and posted  Here
as the seed block for a scrappy BOM endeavor that I did not continue.

For this project I pulled out this old stash of fat quarters
and a piece of yardage.
This is a vintage Fig Tree Quilts line called "Fresh Cottons."
I still love the soft and pretty colors and florals.

I liked this Nine Patch block so much it was on my wall since I made it.

I have decide ...
