I have finally finished my positive/negative 9 patch. The borders took a bit longer than I thought they would.
I couldn't continue the border strips right to the edge because the math was a bit strange, so I had to improvise and place these quarter square triangles (I think that's what they're called) in the corner.
Have you heard of Klosjes? They are adorable and I will be back soon with an explanation and some "show & tell".

Simple & beautiful !
Very nice. Jeanette
Oh Sue-Anne,
I knew the wait would be worth it. Well done. It looks fantastic. I may have a go too as a way of getting those scraps down. Now for those klosjes!!
Love Shirl.x
This looks great!! I love how the border makes the quilt look "woven".
OK, you've got my attention with the Klosjes ...
Regards, Sue
Lovely and I like your corners
Sue-Anne, that is gorgeous. I love it, I particularly like your colour and border and everything! Yes, I've heard of Klosje and I'm making one too. I cut my pattern today. Can't wait to get started - Hugs Nat
Love it.. and I hate doing borders.. no fun.. that is why I think they do take so long to finish..;o) And oh yes.. Klosjes...have heard of them and seen them..and are sooo tempted..;o)
Gosh! Who's been a busy girl then? Looks great. Kind regards, Anita.
Hip hip hooray, I love your nine patch quilt, great job. I'll be back to check out your Klosjes.
looks great!!!!!!
Oh so happy with your Nine Patch! Very cute Sue-Anne. Love it. Love seeing some of my very own fabrics in there, too. Yes, I've heard of the Klosjes - I think I might play, too. I just have to figure out how to pronounce that word!
Are you going to take part in making spool blocks? I have been seeing them on a few blogs. Seems like it is catching on at lightening speed.
Your finished nine patch project is a treat. Those pieced borders always seem to take longer to do than you think they will.
This nine patch is fabulous. Just another example how truly wonderful scrap quilts are.
That is going to look awesome quilted too. I love it so much. Very neat. So scrappy.
Hugs
that nine patch is so beautiful...LOVE the borders!!!!
Even more gorgeous than I imagined. I love it!
Oh, how fun!! It looks as if it has been weaved like a basket!! Very striking! Great job. Can't wait to see your spools! :0)
OOOO!!! very pretty. I really like your header too.
I think the border adds so much to this wonderful quilt. How are you going to quilt it?
Sue-Anne, Just breath-taking! What an effective border and a lovely detail for the corner blocks...
And I can't wait to see your Klosjes! The expectation is killing me!

I am constantly amazed at how much you achieve in your sewing, whats your secret? Maybe you dont sleep!
Wahoo Sue Anne! I love nine patch and this is so fabulous. Did you start counting down to the last few? I did last summer when I made one.
I love the borders so very original. Great photos too.
Great quilt and I really like the borders and your corner treatment.
My name is Ranette and I'm a Klosjes addict, but I too need to know how to pronounce it...lol...
I really really like this one, Sue-Anne! The borders really set it off perfectly. I think it turned out amazing! What a clever way to finish off the corners; I never would have thought of that. I'll have to remember that the next time my corner math doesn't work out the way I want it to. 8)
Happy quilting,
