Nine Easy Pieces & BOMs Away Monday

If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that I make and donate many quilts to Loma Linda Medical Center. I am always on the lookout for quick and easy patterns to use. This week my goal was to make a serious dent in my stash of kid prints. I had about 12 yards of different prints to use. The Super Sized Nine Patch pattern from the May/June '06 issue of Quiltmaker magazine seemed suitable to try.

Super Sized Nine Patch tops

It turned out to be  perfect! Each yard of 3 fabrics is folded and cut the same way. Then you mix up the prints and get three baby quilts in under two hours time. I am hooked on this pattern for my donations. Even better was that I found out that Project Linus accepts quilt tops and blocks as long as they are bright kid prints. Their drop off location is just downtown so I am ecstatic! I am signed up for Quiltmaker's online newsletter which is how I found this pattern

Super Sized Nine Patch and Warm Wishes

I added a Warm Wishes quilt too but working on all those blocks was tedious. This makes sewing and donating so much easier. The real bonus is that I have room in a drawer now for new fabrics.  Hooray!

More Super sized Nine Patches

I almost met my goal. I still have some yardage of one baby print so when I get some coordinating yardage I can work those up too.
What goals do you have for this week?

For BOMs Away Monday I have the very LAST of the Black and White Delight BOM.

 You can probably tell it is a simple 16 patch block with nice placement of the three fabrics. Now to work out a time to get all these together into a quilt......

Today is link up day with What a Hoot! so head on over there to check out more quilting projects.

Happy Quilting!
