Today on my design wall are nine patch blocks that I'm making in preparation for a Bonnie Hunter class coming up in early April. I'm excited to finally meet Bonnie in person as I read her blog about every day. I'm taking her all day class on her quilt Talkin Turkey, which is in reds and neutrals.
After cutting the pieces for the nine patches, I decided to go ahead and make them, so I can get a jump start on the class.
I also finished the little doll quilt Midwinter Blues from the Humble Quilts blog (Here). Lori's little quilt-a-longs are so much fun to make. On this one, I quilted the center, and was undecided about quilting anything on the borders, but decided to give the Baptist Fan pattern a try. It was just what I wanted to give the border a little extra attention. I didn't have enough of the sashing stripe to use as a repeat for binding, so used another stripe. It is finished now and is waiting for Lori's linkup with all of the other little Midwinter Blues doll quilts.
Here's a pic of the entire quilt so you can see my Baptist Fans, and the binding. It's Monday, so Design Wall Monday's linkup is (Here) Are you experiencing cabin fever?

No Cabin Fever here, either! There is always something to do in my "Hidey Hole." Love your Mid Winter's Blues quilt. The reds are great!
No cabin fever, way too many projects going on including MidWinter Blues QAL with Lori. Love yours in reds, the stripe for the binding really sets it off too. So cute on the lovely doll bed. Congrats on a finish!
Your midwinter blues turned out so cute! Love the fans!!
Love that striped binding. Quilters seem to seldom recognize the value of binding, past just being finished. Lovely little quilt!
I forgot to shout overachiever :)
The baptist fans are perfect for a border. I did a big quilt with that pattern, but never thought about doing it in a border. I don't ever get Cabin Fever; I figure I'm just a hermit (with lots of quilty fun!)
No cabin, no fever... more than enough to keep me busy in my humble abode when I'm not at work! Love the fabrics/colors you used for Midwinter Blues! And the Baptist Fan quilting is wonderful! Lovin' the red and tan nine patches too!
Looks right at home in the doll bed!
No cabin fever here, either! Always something to do when you are a quilter!! The reds on your Midwinter "Reds" quilt are wonderful - love the stripes!!
Blessings
That is the cutest, tiniest little midwinter blues! Adorable! Great quilting on it too!
Wow - it is gorgeous! Looks so sweet on the doll bed too - takes me back :)
I love your Midwinter Blues quilt.You made a good choice for quilting the border.
Just precious! I love this, and the striped binding is perfect. You also chose a wonderful quilting for the borders!
No cabin fever here either! Finally having time to do some concentrated sewing.
I love your new doll quilt. The stripe binding really perks the whole piece doesn't it?
