TV Stitching

I found myself a bit at loose ends for a handwork project. I thought about how pleasantly surprised I'd been that I thoroughly enjoyed the hand-piecing of the Steam Punk blocks so I went rummaging around in the messy studio for a set of templates I'd acquired years ago but never used. And there they were!

This block is called Improved Nine Patch. I disagree. A Nine Patch cannot be improved. So I think of these as Elongated Nine Patch; Himself thinks perhaps Winged Nine Patch.

Whatever, they are fun. I have no grand plan for these. I have perhaps a yard of the background fabric and endless scraps of Kaffes and solids.

BTW, Steam Punk and Archaeologic Find Number One went to the machinist's today.

I've never thought a 9 Patch could be improved upon either so like your "Elongated 9 Patch" moniker very much! "Winged 9 Patch" is a good name for an artist to come up with. :)

Applause that two of your quilts have gone to the machinist. Isn't it astonishing what a difference there is between a lovely quilt top and the quilt you get back after it's been quilted?

Hugs!

I like Winged Nine Patch as a name - and I love what you're doing with these.

Always exciting to send tops to the quilter. I look forward to see the magic happen.
I have always liked this block, but I think it looks like "9-patch on the rack," or "Tortured 9-patch."

I always thought that it was a strange name, how can you improve on a 9 patch, Altered 9 patch would be more correct, although I do like Winged 9 Patch, they are lovely blocks, the striped one is my favourite, you can't go wrong with Kaffes.
