is one of the things I did with my yellow scraps this week. Since I have been obsessed with enjoying the local sunflowers lately, I decided to feature one in this block!
Now there are four yellow split 9 patches.
And a rainbow of blocks - 30 of them! I've made four of each color, except light blue. Just two of those. These 30 will make a good kid-sized quilt, about 45 x 54, so I think I will get started sewing them together fairly soon.
Meanwhile, I got started on a little squirrel project based on a request from my niece who would like two placemats with blue, red, and yellow in them. I used the last of my strawberry print on blue as the inspiration fabric, and added a red, a yellow, and a white. Now I have four each of 4.5 inch squares, four patches, and framed squares.
Right now, I'm playing with layouts - something like this, maybe?
I'm making two exactly alike - except I'm thinking I will bind one
in the red and one in the yellow. This is a fun little project!

Cute placemat project. Your yellow blocks are so bright and cheery, will make a great rainbow quilt.
love your split nine patches! Especially the one with the sunflower! You keep inspiring me with these projects! Thanks Diann! PS, I don't know if I commented on your other post but your previous post with the bunny laying down really impacted me. That is a whole lot of heat :( Poor baby and poor you'all. Hugs!
Love the yellow blocks! So happy and great use of the sunflower! :) But I am a little partial to sunflowers. Fun start of your strawberry project too.
How pretty are those split nine-patches, love the fussy cut. Love the direction you're going with the placemats - so pretty!
Those split patch blocks are so cute. That one will make a lovely rainbow quilt. The placemats are going to be fun too. Happy stitching this weekend.
What a fun project those placemats are! I need to work on my split nines today. Love your sunny yellows.
I have been seeing a lot of sunflowers photos and on quilts recently - it looks great!!
very nice in yellow and the placemats will be fun
The placemats will be lovely!
The Split 9-patch blocks will make a delightful kid quilt. So cute! Your niece will love her placemats. That strawberry print is perfect.
I love all your Split Nines and am curious to see which setting you ultimately choose!
Those split nines look great! The squirrel project is progressing extremely well!
That split 9-patch is going to be so cute!!!
Oh those split nine-patches! So so pretty! And the arrangement of the colors for the placement is perfect!
Fun new project, it's going to be cheerful and lovely!
What a lovely little rainbow of split nine patches! There is a field of sunflowers near here where people can pick their own for a small price. I love going past it, must remember to take a photo. Custom placemats will be such a nice gift for your niece, especially since they're so pretty! Have a good week.
Nice job on the Split 9s. Looking forward to seeing your final layout on them. You've shared several over the months. Your niece is going to love those placemats. I like the idea of an "almost identical" pair. Perfect!
Those split nine patches are really lovely, especially the little sunflower one!
I love the split nine patch blocks and the fussy cut sunflower is so fun!
LOVE those YELLOW Split 9-Patch blocks, Diann! Have fun with that other cheerful quilt, too.
