Blooming Nine Patch

This has been one of my favorite patterns since the book first came out in 1996. I can not believe it has taken this long to work on this pattern. I hope This will be the first of many that will be created.

I drafted a black and white page on E Quilt and then colored it in with the colors I had chosen for this quilt. Unless you're able to cut out all the strips and blocks at one time, the books colored  layout can be a bit confusing.

This way I am able to follow the layout based on my colored rendition.

The baticks really blend - I'm looking forward to see the final product.
