Quilts that make us smile and bring us happy thoughts are priceless. This TQS Weekend Fun Giveaway is a pattern for such a quilt. It is designed by Mickey Depre, a JWD Publishing designer who has a talent for creating wonderfully whimsical quilts.  The Ninepatchers—A Family Reunion is filled with a very cute family of ninepatchers like you have never met! This wall quilt is a breeze to make and allows you to be as playful as you wish. If you are one of the happy winners, you’ll have a blast making this quilt. (For quilters of all skill levels)

Thanks for entering! The winners will be announced soon!

Check out more of Mickey's fun patterns by clicking here.  To find a quilt shop near you that carries JWD Publishing's patterns, go here.  (Ask your local quilt shop to see if they carry JWD patterns. If a store does not have the specific pattern you wish, they may order it directly from JWD.)
