The nine patch is always a favorite for me. There are so many ways to use this traditional design. I wanted to briefly re-visit some of those from this blog over the last 8 years. I know, 8 years.

| In spite of the continuing heat, Fall is certainly on its way. I have been painfully busy this week and had little time to write, so sorry. My front porch will be transitioned soon to Fall. Some Mums, some pumpkins, you know, the symbols of the season. These two Vintage Quilts grace the rockers off and on all Summer. I don't leave them out long, don't want sun fade or dampness to harm them. Dealing with the busy spiders is one of my least favorite tasks, in one evening the little stinkers take over. |

| The reason we are discussing 9 patch quilts today is one I should have addressed some time ago. This picture, this quilt from a blog no longer available is one of the most viewed on my blog over all these years. It averages 300 + views per day! Can you imagine? Why? Because this pattern is universally a favorite. Cut it up, switch it around and bingo...you have another incantation. Change your colors and/or prints, and yet another totally different design emerges. |

A disappearing nine patch from The Ladies of the Cloth.
One of my absolute favorite quilt patterns is the 9 patch, in all its forms. I keep seeing this on pop up of the Quilters Digest page on Facebook. Too cute.

- For several years the quilt below has been featured on other blogs and on social media sites. Why? Because it is a nine patch, traditional yet thoroughly modern in its approach.
- Linear and geographic but quilted in the negative spaces with curves. The contrast is beautiful.
- I may start blogging once or twice per week. I'll try that for a while, I do have some lovely work to share but not much time.
- Have a lovely week end dear Sewists, back sometime next week!😁
