I changed the quilt on the guest room bed yesterday. I am not ready to put Christmas red and green on yet but I was ready for a change.
I don't join too many group projects but I did get in on my small group nine-patch exchange a few years ago. At each meeting we shared 3" blocks and after a year we each had over 300 hundred of them. (We meet twice a month.) We each set them any way we liked. I chose this setting and had some nine-patches leftover.
I used a cream ground with red print shirting as background and a red with black print in a Jacob's Ladder variation.
This is the first of only two quilts I've ever had machine quilted. I was pleased with it and loved how fast quilting goes when you do it with a checkbook!
Here's the block isolated.
Finally, we all showed off our work. How often do twelve people start a (big) quilt project and EVERYONE finishes? A great spot for our photo, don't you think?
