'Crazy nine patch' quilt blocks by Allsorts

block1.jpgI've always wanted to learn how to quilt, and this tutorial featured on a blog by Allsorts may just inspire me to get my finger out. It describes how to make a 'crazy nine patch' block which can be used to make a rather fabulous quilt. The fabric that Jenny B uses obviously adds to the covet factor, but any mix of bright squares would give the same overall effect. It seems fairly straightforward, even to a novice like me, and the mix of pictures and clear instructions makes it easy to follow. The best bit is seeing the patches used as the quilt progresses. It doesn't appear to be finished yet, but the top is done and looking rather fine. Jenny was also a self confessed quilting virgin when she started this project, so it certainly gives me some hope seeing what she's made so far.
