On my design table today is the UFO Challenge pick of the month, #12. That correlates on my list to yet another 9 patch quilt from that wonderful swap of Julie's. This time it's the pink and brown patches that are getting their turn.
Three blocks will make a nice table runner from this pattern, which is X's and O's from the June 2011 American Patchwork & Quilting magazine. All the blocks are made from the same template for the triangle-rectangle, just different colorways. A tri-rec ruler would come in handy just now, wouldn't it? I'll make two X's and one O for my project, and at least two borders. I haven't quite worked that all out yet.
These browns were purchased at the International Quilt Festival in Cinci, but I don't know if they are going to work. I didn't have the pattern with me and after getting home and seeing the quilt again, these may have too much of a strong print. Quilt-ITIS will ensue (I'll Try It & See). More design walls are on Judy's Patchwork Times, go take a look at all the great things people are making!

Wowzer...I.LIKE.
So civil war-ish, vintage love here!
love your pinks and browns, tried to collect some myself on a recent shop hop road trip. don't think I found any as pretty as these
Pink and brown is one my favorite fabric combinations. Yours look awesome. Can't wait to see more.
Very cool looking blocks, Annie. That will be a great table runner. I love pink and brown and have a container full of them that I have collected over the last few years. Now I need to make something with them!
This pattern looks interesting...can't wait to see how it comes together!
Love those fabrics!!
I love the colours and patterns on all these fabrics. It's going to be a stunner when it's done.
As much as I love brights I keep falling in love with pinks and chocolates all over again every time I see them.
Love the colors. It's going to be a very nice table runner. Pink and brown are one of those color combos that's on my bucket list.
What a neat pattern you are using. Hope the fabrics all work out for you!
