Nine patch; simple beauty

There is something about the timeless beauty and simplicity of a 9-patch. Depending on fabrics, it can take on a host of personalities. I finished quilting this quilt for a new customer, Stephanie.

I like the way Stephanie lightly sprinkled the stylized floral print among the marbled batiks to give her quilt an oriental feel. The black sashing and borders really sets off the colors in a stained glass fashion.
