It's always a good feeling to have a finished quilt to share! I began making nine inch split 9 patch blocks at the beginning of 2023 as one of my Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks, and made four every month in every color of the rainbow.
January's color must have been blue because here's my design wall at the end of January!
By the end of October, I had this collection:
And here we are today!
Rudolph approves of this colorful backing - it's a piece of wide backing from Missouri Star Quilts. I picked the binding based on this backing - a bright marbled blue.
All the color in a rainbow quilt really appeals to me!
Favorite blocks with fun scraps!
This quilt is going to live at my house for just a few more weeks, and in the new year it will be going to Cynthia of Quilting is More Fun than Housework for a Compassion Quilts donation. She said she could use a quilt of this size - about 45 x 54.
Time to decide what to work on finishing next!

It's gorgeous - I love this design Diann! The colors and the pretty backing and the blue binding and the size - I would have a really hard time giving that one up. But we know that someone will treasure it. Nicely done!
It turned out just perfect with that backing and binding. So glad you get to enjoy it a bit before wrapping someone else in a quilty hug.
It's a beautiful finish. Great choice for the backing!

I love the split 9 patch! It's so festive and happy! Have a wonderful Christmas Diann!
I love it! It turned out perfect, and what a nice bright spot in the winter. Given my own habit of letting quilts age, I'm exceptionally impressed that it went from one block to finished quilt in less than one year! This will make a lovely donation, too. Merry Christmas!
Love, love, LOVE this quilt, Diann!! Cynthia will be pleased to receive it for her Compassion Quilt program. SEW sweet of you to offer it to her!
The split nine patch is stunning. I love the asymmetrical layout. Whoever receives it will feel the love.
I’m so in love with your quilt, that split 9 patch may be one of my RSC blocks for 2024. I’ve started a list of candidates! I still need to use up scraps! Can you believe it?
