I wasn’t too fussed by this crazy 9-patch quilt’s colours etc. However, when I viewed it hanging on the line, I changed my opinion — I quite like how it looks like an abstract painting.
This was a busy quilt with all those solid colours, so I just did a squared off variation of my open headbands motif using a variegated thread in gold, green, and tan autumnal colours.

After moving my Sweet Sixteen into the living room to take advantage of the air conditioning there, I tackled the pile of community quilts with a vengeance! There’s nothing like a stinking hot heat wave to keep you inside. In the week between Christmas and New Year I quilted some 10 or so community quilts 😉 As a result, I didn’t keep track of all the threads I used…
Here’s quilt #43. It was a little one, and I think the pink/green fabric is ‘Strawberry Shortcake’. As this quilt will likely go to a young girl, I quilted it using pink thread, in an all-over hearts and flowers motif.
