Last month I joined the Blockwork Orange Swap. It was one of those swaps that you just had to punch out a bunch of blocks and mail them in and get others' blocks back in return. This particular one was so fast and a total breeze. I LOVED it!
These crazy 9-patch blogs were courtesy of Oh Franssons online tutorial.
They are really easy to do, almost impossible to mess up and you bang out 9 of these bad boys at the same time! WOO HOO!
Above are the group of blocks that I sent in for the swap. I used fabric mostly purchased from Fabricworm. They have bundles in almost every colorway so it was an easy pick for fabric for this one. I also had some other oranges in my stash that I added in.
Here are the blocks when I got them back. I tried to play around with how I wanted them and thought I would probably lay them in rows like this, but opted for something else.
This is the finished top. I put the blocks in groups of four and groups of six and laid them just like you see above. Then, I framed them in Kona Snow and sashed and bordered in Kona Charcoal. I am really happy with it and will post the finished product when it is finished being quilted and when I have the back put together. Still not sure what to do with the back!
