This is my Nine Patch and Applique' quilt finished. This one was a long time in the making, but it is one of my favorites. The borders are hand appliqued'.
I machine quilted it in a diagonal grid and echo quilted around the applique'.

The quilt is approximately 60 inches square, and I really like using it on my dining room table.
The pattern for this quilt is in Quick and Easy Scrap Quilts by Leisure Arts (1996). I didn't start the quilt the year the book was published, but it has been a UFO for a long time.
I'm linking up with Link A Finish Friday over at Richard and Tanya Quilts blog.
I hope you are taking a little time out to stitch today.
Thanks for stopping by!
