Love those oldies in a nine patch exchange.

Gillian participated in a 
Nine Patch Exchange a few years ago thru Cock a  doodle Quilts,  a local quilt shop that unfortunately no longer exists. 

Somehow Gillian acquired far more blocks than  any other participant, I know this because I remember quilting another nine patch quilt for Gillian a few years ago.  I will dig up those pictures and blog about it at a later date.

This quilt was  simply quilted  with straight lines.  

Nine patch exchanges are organized amongst a group of quilters over a long period of time.  In the end the entire group should have and equal number of identical nine patch blocks.  Exchanges are a lot of fun and they get rid of last bits of your stash.
 I have been the organizer of a few exchanges, someday I will  blog about the process and the results of them.
