Split Nine Patch Quilt

Isn’t this quilt fun and funky? I think it is called a split nine patch.

This is Linda’s quilt and I love how whimsical it looks.  It was fun to check out all the different fabrics she used, many of which are in my own stash!

This quilt is a smallish twin and uses one of my favorite combo colors – blue and yellow!  She has dots, swirls and other whimsical fabrics in her top.  I’m told this pattern is very easy to make but I’ve never tried it.

I believe you sew a nine patch in the traditional method then cut it apart on a diagonal and sew it back together in all its funky glory.  Very effective and fun!

On quilts with this many different fabrics, an edge-to-edge pattern is really the best choice.  I used the pattern “Spin” on her top which is whimsical and funky – perfect for this quilt!
