Drawing done

One of the things on my list of goals for this month is to draw up the Zig Zag Nine Patch quilt the way I want to make it up. This is one of Bonnie's Leader and Ender projects, and I fell in love with it the minute I saw it. In Bonnie's quilt, she has cut some nine patches in half at the top and bottom of the quilt, and I decided I'd rather not do that, and I also wanted to check out how many blocks and setting squares I'd need. So, here's the quilt I drew up last night.

I have found that I already have too many blocks, so I may end up making a lap quilt also. I don't think I want to make the quilt any larger, as it's going to be 70"x90" already.

So that I can finish off a couple of last things from my goals for this month, I'll hold off on putting this quilt together until next month. I'd like to get a few more Xmas gifts made and I would love to get the Winnie the Pooh quilt on the move again.

Last night I did some more knitting, I've almost finished the scarf for my MIL. There was nothing I wanted to watch on the box while I was knitting, so I put one of my favourite movies on and clicked away. I chose Breakfast at Tiffanys, I just love that movie.

Well, that's it from me, have a great day! x o x

    your design for the nine patch blocks looks good. Hope you'll post your progress on this quilt.
    Did you use EQ to draw it up or some other program?

    This is one of my favourite layouts on Bonnies site. One day I'll have enough nine patches to make one of my own.

    The EQ drawing looks great -I can't wait to see the actual quilt. I'm also anxious for the new version of EQ to come out - are you planning to upgrade?

    Hi Tazzie- Nice setting for our blocks! Please send measurements
    :-D Does "stone fruit" mean fruit with a pit in the middle? How far is Port Adelaide from you? I am having a hard time remembering how to send this note - so you might get it three times!
