The 4th 9-Patch Quilt

…is off the longarm.

It’s a sweet, scrappy, functional, fun quilt: “Pot Pourri 4.”

I have lost count of how many quilts I’ve made from cutting up the Cotton+Steel/Ruby Star Society fabrics about 5 years ago now in Maine. Someday I should do a post on all of them to date. But–the two bins of 3.5-inch squares are each only about half gone now. And that doesn’t even get to all the squares and strips I have.

I quilted with a panto longarmer Wendy Currie recommended to me for another project some weeks ago: Rhododendron. She suggested three different pantos for “Prickly Pear.” I used New Wave and went on to have it enlarged by Urban Elementz and used it for the “Make The Churn Dash Block Modern” quilt I made–which is now bound and finished. So I thought I’d try Rhododendron for this “Pot Pour 4” quilt.

It laid down lovely texture and was fun to quilt.

Now to trim and bind it today–before I leave for the Charleston Modern Quilt Guild meeting tonight.

Then I will have night-time handwork again.
