September Pillow… Lozenges!
Bonnie Hunter popularized these lozenges last year when she suggested making some of these simple snowballed blocks each month through the year as leaders and enders for your other sewing projects. I’m still working on that quilt (I have about 100 lozenges in a larger size).
I thought we’d do smaller lozenges for our September Pillow (Yes, I know it’s now November!) and I was thrilled I could get the math to work out nicely!
Only 16 lozenges (from 3″ x 5″ cut rectangles) are needed for this pillow. I raided my stash of Charm Packs and threw in a couple of zingers from my stash. The result is scrappy but coordinated for fall. I love it. Check out those star points that pop out! Fun!

And here is a peak at the quilt I’m working on from Bonnie Hunter’s site…
My wonderful Friendship Group swaps some lozenges each month… providing both inspiration and motivation! These lozenges are stitched into blocks of 6 (3X2) lozenges… with a few extra!

Here’s a Sampler of 9-Patch blocks, all set in spools… A real quilter’s dream! You can increase your skills and have a stitch in’ good time while making this beautiful, traditional quilt.
I have set it up (in my computer!) to be a masculine quilt with tan spools set in a light blue background, then brown and
darker blue for the 9-patch based blocks on a light (muslin) background a with a few sky blue
accents. But I have seen this quilt made in glorious florals and luscious batiks as well. So let your creativity run free!
No matter what fabrics you use, this 9-Patch Spool Sampler is, all in all, a great study of techniques and value! Finished size of this 9-Patch Spool Sampler varies from80″ X 80″ to 87” X 87” (depending on how you set the blocks) with sixteen different 15” finished blocks.
