Disappearing Nine Patch Update

Posted on July 13, 2019 | 22 comments

I joined Julie Cefalu’s Disappearing Nine Patch Quilt Along, and have really enjoyed the process.

I have completed turning my 20 nine patch blocks into disappearing nine patch blocks. Fun!

I have also sewn all of these blocks into a flimsy! It was windy, but I did manage to get a couple of photos.

Julie has a link up for her participants. I am headed over there to see all of the fun variations that are linked up!

Always have something beautiful in sight, even if it’s just a daisy in a jelly glass. – H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

If I had my life to live over, I’d pick more daisies. – Don Herold

In nature everything is valuable, everything has its place. The rose, the daisy, the lark, the squirrel, each is different but beautiful. Each has its own expression. Each flower its’ own fragrance. Each bird its’ own song. So you too have your own unique melody. – Diane Dreher

One rose is enough for the dawn. -Edmond Jabes

You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses. -Ziggy

The rose is a rose from the time it is a seed to the time it dies. Within it, at all times, it contains its whole potential. It seems to be constantly in the process of change: Yet at each state, at each moment, it is perfectly all right as it is. -Paulo Coelho

I want to encourage women to embrace their own uniqueness. Because just like a rose is beautiful, so is a sunflower, so is a peony. I mean, all flowers are beautiful in their own way, and that’s like women too. -Miranda Kerr
