I was returning some stuff to the florist from the wedding today
and in the process picked up a treasure. Lucky for me she was
doing a little organizing and came across these little gems. Now
to decide how to set them, Any ideas, please share.
Want to make something similar?
here are the basics:
3" finished 9-patch - cut 1-1/2" squares
3-1/2" cut setting square.

What an honor to have "our" wedding

Wow! What a lucky girl! I love those red and brown blocks. I don't have any particularly creative ideas but I like 3" sashing with nine patches for the cornerstones. The wedding really was very beautiful. You must be so proud.
I have an antique quilt top with blocks very similar to those. It is set simply with indigo/white squares. I'll take send you a photo.
What a wonderful find, love the fabrics.

Taryn and I are on the same quilters wave, I was thinking that exact same those blocks would just float..it would almost be a double irish chain
I love nine patches!! I'm making some with Christmas fabrics and am going to set them with alternating plain blocks - makes it look like a single Irish chain (almost) I've heard it called double nine patch. What a treasure - thanks for sharing!
I would use sashings and cornerstones to set the blocks. They are lovely. What a nice surprise for your day!
Your block find is wonderful! There's nothing like a simple 9-patch in my book...love them to bits...the tinier the bits the better. Thanks you for sharing the beautiful wedding photos, simply gorgeous!
Double nine patch setting with red alternating squares.......gorgeous!
Happy Sewing
I'm seeing a 3 1/2" x 9 1/2" sashings in a mourning grey. Setting these on point with a 1" finished red inner border. Mabye a 5" finished border of a multicolored Civil War print with grey and red. But if you are going for a Wedding theme then sash with random shirtings. Oh and congrats on the wedding.
