September's Block Snow Much Fun BOM

September is here, it's hard to believe. This year is just flying by! This month's block will take you no time at all to make, it's a simple nine patch for in the center of the quilt and two pieced strips. That means we are all done with the applique blocks for this quilt. Yes, you've gotten all the hard parts done! I bet you are getting excited to see your finished quilt tops soon, I am too! I think it would be fun to show off our finished quilts! So I'm going have a little blog hop so we can share them in December. If you don't have a blog I can share your posting on the Quilt Doodle Blog. I have some fun prizes to celebrate! To post your quilt, they don't have to be quilted, just the top pieced.

The center Nine Patch
As you can see a nine patch will take you a few minutes to make, you just make one nine patch. The nine patch is made up of nine 5 1/8" squares, one of each color from the fat quarters. Remember I had you cut these way back in January?

Then after you make the one nine patch, you then make two strips using the 6 1/2" squares, again one of each color to form each strip. These will go on the top and bottom of your quilt after we get to the sashing. (That will be next month's task) Next month, October, we will do the sashing and borders, then your quilt top is all done! This will give you time if you want to quilt and finish it for the holiday season.

To finish this cute quilt, I embellished my design with some special buttons from Just Another Button Company. I do have these buttons available in my Etsy Shop. Pattern can be found on the Quilt Doodle Designs Website. The nine patch and strip directions are a  Free download this month only.  I will not be sewing my buttons onto my quilt top until after I have it all done and quilted. I will also be offering some extra postings for you wool workers out there too! This BOM will be offered the first of every month. Like always, it's FREE for the month that the block is out, then there's a small fee if you have to play catch up to get the block. 

Happy Quilting!
Cindy

  2. I am just wondering why the button pack is so expensive this year? Usually in past years it is around $14.00, this year it is $52.00. I just don't think I will be able to buy them at that cost. I guess I could embroidery the noses, etc. on????? Any other ideas?

    1. Hi Sandra, thank you for your comment. The button pack runs a bit more because of the handmade buttons, the carrot noses, mittens etc. Embroidery is a great solution if you don't want the button packs. although I will be running a little button sales this weekend 9-8-18 thru 9-15-18
