the ‘oops’ crazy nine patch quilt

I was trying my hand at the crazy nine patch lattice quilt by Elizabeth (Oh Fransson!) and something went wrong!

I was supposed to have 9 blocks with 9 different fabrics on it

And I ended up with as many as 4 with a fabric twice on it!!! (i didn’t check after that….

and to add to it was another disaster… i used a green fabric for sashing and i finished doing between the block and now i have none left… I dont know what i’m going to do next… i went to the market to buy new fabric, but none matched mine… it was pretty old and its not 100% cotton… so there is a difference in the shade…

no idea how to end this quilt. The top looks lovely though..

About Me

Hello all, Thank you for dropping by. My name is Shruti and I live in Sangli, India with my 3 year old son Aadi & my husband Rohit. I am an Architect by profession. I recently started a new venture - Shruti's - the 'up'cycle shop - where I employ women from the slums of the city to sew various household items. This also gave me an opportunity to try my hand at quilting - which i had been fascinated by, for quite some time. Trying to quilt in an area where people do not even know what Quilting means has put up a lot of challenges before me. Procuring something as simple as a batting is an ordeal for me. But I manage. Most of the times by using locally available substitutes. My quilts do not have that professional look - not yet - but I'm happy with my efforts.
