I started this Mai Tai quilt many moons ago as part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I has seen it originally as part of a post about a Bonnie Hunter
cruise . I didn't have enough information yet to put it all together, until I saw
this post in Quiltmaker magazine. Since then I've been making nine patches as leaders and enders to go along with the color of the month. Just a few each month, but they have added up over the last couple of years. There are even a few pink star blocks to give you the idea of how it will look when it starts to come together. It is a school holiday today! That means I have extra sewing time to enjoy. First I think I'll get some more of the nine patches sashed, and then I might even work on some stars. I think I'll do a general diagonal color rainbow, but offset the stars and nine patches by one color to give it a more blendy effect. I'm going to join in at
Patchwork Times this week for design wall Monday in celebration of labor day.

This is going to be a fun quilt. I love framed 9 patches and they look great with your scrappy stars.
Have a fun day sewing. And a fabulous school year!
What a great quilt. I don't think you can ever go wrong with nine patches. Hope your school year is going ok so far.
It's going to be gorgeous quilt when you get it all done.
So pretty! I love the blue nine patch blocks with the burst of color in between. Just lovely!
