big nines-a completed quilt top

Welcome to finish it up Friday!

I'm not completely sure, but I think the month of May just might be the end of me. Man, it's been busy! If I've been sewing, it's mostly been something that I can't show yet. So, for sanity sake, I whipped up this little quilt top. I needed to see something completed, and quick like! Something bigger than a pincushion. Hahaha!
I used 10 different solid fabrics from my stash in this quilt. The white blocks are Kona cotton (Snow) and the solids are from a variety of different manufacturers, but mostly Kona.
The blocks finish at 16", so the quilt should finish at about 48" square. I'm excited because I already have a plan for quilting and binding. Figuring out a backing shouldn't be too hard.
You can find the block tutorial here, if you care to make one of your own! I think this would be super cute done up in subtle prints, too.

That's it for me today! Now, it's your turn. Please link up your finishes, and thank you, as always, for joining me for finish it up Friday!

  3. Such a simple quilt with big impact; love your color choices. And you're right, the backing shouldn't be hard to pick.

  5. It would be so fun to make this an a variation of "dice" numbers. I think with the 9 patch you can get 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 pretty easily. Sometimes a fast make is just what is needed. :)

  15. I'm looking forward to seeing what you choose for the backing/quilting/binding.

    When I saw your post about this pattern the other day I wondered about trying it with fussy cut picture squares to replace the white ones. I might give it a go I think.

  18. I love your quilt top! And thank you so much for the tutorial. I think I'm going to use it to do a bit of stash busting ...it's time to clean out and this would be a great way to make some quick and easy, but still interesting, donation quilts.

  22. I would never be able to make that as fast as you but I can so appreciate the need for a FO when everything's in process.

  23. Thank you for running your link up! Just managed to join in this week! Phew!
    "Big Nines" is such a great idea, although i haven't been one for solid colours ..... until now! I bought some solids for a printing project recently, must see if I have enough to make one.
    Thank you for running your recent blog hop ..... I was lucky to win an electronic copy of your book, and I 'm looking forward to getting time to sit, and take in some ideas from you.
    Thank you!
