Garden Patch

I’ve been slowly working on this quilt pattern by Kim Diehl. I am like so much how this top is turning out – I could see it as being my favourite pieced top that I’ve made in a while.  The centre is made from basic nine patch blocks, but they are bright and happy to look at.  The real beautyh of this quilt will come later with an appliqued border on a bright blue fabric that I have put aside.

Now the bad news – I seem to have lost 25 of the small nine patches that make up some of the blocks.  I am beyond upset that I can’t find them.  I had what I thought were all the little nine patches in a basket, with their background squares, ready to sew up the blocks.  I sewed 5 and ran out!  I have gone through everything I can think of and can’t find them.  I guess I’ll have to put this to rest for a while, and if I can’t find the rest of the blocks I’ll have to make it into a wall hanging.
