I have never made a Disappearing Nine Patch (D9P) quilt. Don’t ask me why this has been on my bucket list; it just has.
So when I saw that Julie Cefalu was hosting a D9P quilt along, I decided that now was the time to make one.
Julie’s instructions, diagrams, tips and even a size chart (for 5″ charm squares) is making an easy project just that much easier. I really appreciate her efforts!
I have fabric that I want to use up (and thread, too), so I am making blocks with choices that I would definitely not normally choose. That’s okay…someone somewhere will like it, and I am learning about value and design.
I have sewn 20 nine patch blocks.
I have even ‘spun’ the intersecting seams!
My goal for July is to cut these blocks up and sew them back together into a flimsy.
Thank you, Julie, for the diversion and the fun!

Block 8, or the third block in Segment 2 of the Lets Sew Quilt Along is a cute pincushion design by Sherry Shish of Powered by Quilting.
The block is as easy, or embellished, as you would like!
I chose to machine applique my tomato pincushion. I used a silver metallic thread to machine stitch the pin shafts.
I also drew and machine appliqued a strawberry to the pincushion. Stitching by hand, I embellished with a stem stitch and a chain stitch.
I may use buttons for the pin heads after putting this project together.
Or I may not.
