Thirty-one nine patch blocks are complete and framed–all made from one Simple Abundance jelly roll! But now they’ll have to go into a drawer until September when I’ll be able to buy the fabrics to finish the quilt! The pattern I’m using is “Around the Block” from the book On a Roll Again by Heather Mulder Peterson. The inner and outer borders on this quilt are great…Nicole just made a gorgeous quilt from this pattern using Patisserie–you can see what her finished quilt top looks like here.
These are just a few of my favorite blocks–did I mention that I love this fabric?!!!
I cut my Snippets layer cake into strips…they’re all ready to go for my Confetti Cake quilt! Three more days of school and one high school graduation to go…and then SUMMER will officially be here! I’m going to try to sit down tonight and make a list of quilt projects for summer, and…dare I say it…make my list of Christmas projects!!! Hooray!
Have a wonderful day!

Cute, cute, CUTE! That 9-patch quilt with the jelly-rolls is wonderful! I can’t wait to see the fabric collection OR the finished quilt.
I’m working with snippets right now too. Doesn’t it just make you feel cheerful? 🙂
CJ says
That was quick! You got that fabric just the other day! I am so impressed. The waiting for the yardage though…wahhhhh. I should NOT have looked at that Patisserie quilt. Oh.MY! I think that might be my favorite fabric by Fig Tree Quilts so far. I don’t own any of it….yet. The Confetti Cake quilt is cute too! It looks hard but says it is strip piecing. I can’t wait to see it….when? Like Thursday?? 😉 Summer projects are one thing but Christmas?? ALREADY?? I am even MORE impressed.
dotti white says
Sherri….thanks for sharing the blocks. I thought you were going to make us wait until the fabric came out. I absolutely love the quilt that you are making. I checked out Nicole’s and it is beautiful! Have a wonderful week. For me, 2 weeks from today is the last day of school! Yeah….

I love your quilt top. Those really are gorgeous fabrics. I’m hoping we don’t have to wait too long to see the rest of it.

Your nine patches are just wonderful…OMG that fabric is beautiful! The Snippets is going to be perfect in Confetti Cake! Hard to believe summer is almost here.
Vickie E says
the 9 patch quilt will be fabulous..I am still trying to decide what to do with my Mill House Inn fabrics…but as you know..I can’t get yardage..so..I’m not sure what background to use…do I use another FIgtree fabric? what if it’s discontinued? so many decisions..so little time. I love snippets too…not sure what the Confetti cake pattern is..so I have to google that.
Stephanie says
Love the fabric and pattern. Snippets is so darn cute too. I’m trying to hold off on purchases until after the big quilt show here this month. Can’t wait. It’s never too early to start on Christmas.
Janet says
I have the confetti pattern, I don’t know when I’ll be doing it though. Your quilt looks great so far.
Terriaw says
These 9-patches are so lovely! I like how you used the solid white, and I love the framing! Can’t wait to see the finished quilt.
Good luck with graduation! You have inspired me to start thinking about Christmas projects too. Happy almost summer!

Your Simple Abundance blocks are really pretty and I’m anxious to see your Confetti Cake quilt go together – that quilt is on my Wish List.
Sheri Howard says
That went together fast and is so cute! I really hate that about going to market and not being able to have what is new for 6 months….it will be exciting when you get the yardage!!!
Millie says
Cute and sweet. The 9 patch jelly roll quilt is lovely…well everything you make is lovely.

VERY cute quilt. It will be gorgegous when finished. I love the little snippets. I don't know what a confetti cake pattern is so I can't wait to see it finished. Good idea for planning your summer & Christmas projects. I could use some notepad organization like that!! V.

Thank you for the compliment on the little quilt. 🙂

Did you use a solid white or ivory for the nine patch of Simple Abundance? I couldn’t really tell on the photo and am planning ahead!
ivoryspring says
Sherri – those nine patches are the prettiest I have ever seen. I love how you have used so many different fabrics.
Lovely! 🙂 Thank you for helping me name my quilt.
Have a wonderful night.

You are making me jealous with your summer quilting list!
jaybird says
i love how the simple abundance came out… i have the book you used too but i haven't made that one yet… i don't know if i'd be able to put it away for a few months… i'd just want to keep it out to look at it!!
Kaaren says
I haven't made a nine patch quilt and maybe I should because I love the way yours turned out.
Sounds like you're in for a busy summer, Sherri. I guess we all should be thinking about Christmas gifts about now, huh?
Love the snippets fabric.
