Jack’s Chain Quilt Pattern: 9-Patch Strips The 9-Patch block is key to this pattern. It is the only place I will have color. This scrap quilt pattern has six 9-patches per block. That means I am settling in for the long haul by creating many 9-patches. Jack’s Chain Quilt Pattern has a great design that pops out when the blocks go together, and I look forward to watching it emerge. A 9-Patch is a relatively…
Pastel and Neutrals for Jack’s Chain Scrap Quilt Jack’s Chain caught my eye in looking for more scrap quilt patterns to pull from the fabrics I already have. There are many variations to be found, but I prefer the neutral background with pastel colors in the 9-Patch. Check out my Pinterest Page to see what I found for this pattern. Because there are so many free patterns already, I will direct you to the web…
Disappearing 9-Patch Variation Scrap Quilt We’ve all seen the rage about the disappearing 9-patch. As a scrap quilt, I love the look, but I wanted to create it with my scraps, focusing on only 2 1/2″ squares, 4 1/2″ squares, and 2 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ rectangles. I did not cut things into quarters; I just wanted to sit at my sewing machine and mindlessly sew the needed units. Utilizing a light background allowed the…
July Quilt UFO Number In June, my quilt UFO project was to finish a flannel frayed edge lap quilt. At first, I thought it would be challenging to fit it in. My summer schedule is absolutely ridiculous, but even with a half hour here and there, I was able to get the quilt finished. I have a new one on my machine now that I need to finish before I can complete this month’s Buster.…

June Quilt UFO Number Where did the month of May go? How are we doing with finding time to work on your quilt UFO? I cut it close this month, and it was down to the wire. The quilt top is finished, just waiting for hand quilting. I used the remaining blocks to create a pillow to go with it. There will be accent buttons added, placed strategically to hide any points that are less…
Squares Create an Easy Scrap Quilt I doubted this pattern until I saw the finished results, and it is an easy scrap quilt. Mine happens to be done in Blue, but there are endless possibilities with this one. Reproduction fabrics, plaids, novelty prints, baby colors, and any color of the rainbow will work with the pattern. For me, the more variety, the better, but I can see this also works well for a limited palette.…
Quilt UFO update for May 2023 This month, the outside chores really cut into my Quilt UFO Buster project. As of this post, I am about 75% complete. The hope is to find a couple of hours on Saturday morning to complete it or at least the top. There were leftover blocks, so I added a pillow to match. May’s project still makes my heart sing. Where will this quilt live when it is done?…
Step 8 Mystery Quilt 2023 Block Number Two of the Mystery Quilt! Yeah, this scrap quilt pattern is coming together. As I looked for my pictures for this post, I discovered that I didn’t take any of the process. I will share a bit with you, but this is an easy block. Scrappy Process I added the scrappy background strips to two opposite sides of the block from Step Three. You can plan a bit,…
