Stretched Nine-Patch

quilt 019

Here’s the second quilt from my cedar chest.  Quite a hodge-podge of fabric prints used in this old patchwork which was inherited from my in-laws.  Looks like some long-ago quilter became bored and got the bright idea to stretch the corners of a nine-patch.  The edges of this quilt are scalloped to match the arcs formed between the patches.

You have some wonderful treasures here.

The first quilt I hand pieced was an extended nine patch. I do not think I could have tackled anything more complicated at that time.
