Nine Patch Jambalaya: How It’s Done

Written by Diane Harris on April 9, 2019. Posted in Blog, How-tos and Ideas, Quilt Lifestyle

I visited Blue Valley Quilters Guild in Overland Park, Kansas last week and shared “Make Extraordinary Scrap Quilts.” I met nice people, enjoyed show and tell, and got excited for the Kansas City Regional Quilt Festival in June, which BVQG co-sponsors.

I’m in the habit of hanging one exemplary quilt on my display stand to set the mood as people arrive. For the scrap quilt trunk show, I use Nine Patch Jambalaya.

This quilt generates excitement, which amazes me but doesn’t surprise me any more. Today I want to tell you how I made it.

I made a quilt and everything went wrong.

Maybe you’ve done the same. It was an exercise in frustration but I learned some things, and some of the most egregious mistakes won’t be evident to others.
