The Hollow-9s

Another flimsy is done. Yay!!


This is the Hollow-9 quilt, that uses some of the blocks in that collection.  The top is 36 x 42, which should be a pretty good size for a lap quilt.

The blue laying underneath is the backing I had in the stash that fits.  And I found a batting piece that is also large enough.  I'm going to sandwich this today and see if I can quilt it myself without messing it up. 

There is still a nice stack of the Hollow-9 blocks, and I'll just keep making them because they are great for using up scraps.  Another quilt will happen with them eventually.

The black/white prints really set off the hollow 9's! I think either vertical or horizontal lines (walking foot) for the quilting. Straight stitch, though if your machine has a serpentine stitch that would look good.

I love the alternate block fabric as it adds drama to the quilt :-)

I'll have to check my basket of 2.5" squares as I know there are a couple different blocks started and one might be another hollow nine. I do like all your brights in this one. I know I did one in greens and I think blues mixed in.

Well done, Sara. 9-Parch blocks are so versatile. You can add them to any kind of soup. ;^)

Sure does look pretty and you found a backing to make a perfect pairing!

It's a fun quilt. You found the perfect fabric for those alternate blocks. Hope the quilting goes well.
