Design Wall Monday-Bright 4 into 9 patch

This quilt started with a set of six fat quarters left over from a shop sample I made a few months ago.  I just wanted to make a simple baby quilt using only these fabrics.  Unfortunately, this wasn’t the best project I could have picked.  The prints are a little too busy and with only six fabrics there really isn’t enough variety.  Oh well!  Sometimes it just doesn’t work out like I picture it in my mind, but I’ll go ahead and finish setting the blocks together then add the borders. I have a pieced border planned for the top and bottom so the quilt will be rectangular instead of square and have enough of the green fabric to add an outer border. This is a donation quilt so hopefully some little girl will like the bright colors!

    I love it with the sashing -- it lets each block shine!

    This is such a fun quilt -- bright and happy. Was it a disappearing 4 patch?

    I think you have made a great quilt for a child (if bigger it would be a great quilt for anyone). I don't think I have seen that block before.
