Nine Patch Doodle truly began as a doodle. I was playing with the regular Nine Patch design and trying to manipulate it and transform it into an amazing piece of ‘wonder’.
Well I began to doodle and the second Nine Patch spun around from the first distorting as it moved in my mind and then a third filled the space between the first two and the doodle grew into the design you see. Attaching colors to each of the ‘tiles’ was a challenge because my mind kept insisting that tell it a story about why the colors shift. The first few blocks were the seed for the rest—but they broke every rule that was established after they appeared. It was fun to watch this piece grow. The quilting is quite simple, I reinserted the original lines from my drawing.

The piecing on this is so amazing. I think this may be my favorite quilt of the entire challenge series.
