Nine-Patch

 

This is another clean-the-closet project, or at least the beginning of one. Some two or three years ago, during the Utah Shop Hop, we walked into Village Dry Goods in Brigham City. Someone came by carrying a basket of little fabric bundles and handed one to each of us. When the shop hop was done, I had two of these little bundles – one in cardinal prints and the other in oyster. Not knowing what to do with them, I tucked them away. Late last winter I pulled them out again and decided the prints would go well with two Japanese block pattern books from 2012. Those patterns are all for 9” blocks, and I estimate there's enough material here to make only nine or ten of them. I have no idea how to set them, or where to look for fabric to set them with. But they should keep me occupied for a week or two.
