Disappearing Nine Patch Update

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!

Sew Let’s Quilt Along Segment 2 Wrap Up

 Block 9 of  Segment 2 of the Sew Let’s Quilt Along QAL is finished.

This fun block includes appliqued lettering.  I am going to show the back so that you can see that the letters are machine stitched…it is difficult to see from the front.

I changed the lettering from the original design.  The cute block design is called “In Stitches” designed by Kathleen McCormick.

To wrap up Segment 2, participants are asked to show a photo of our four blocks together.

July OMG Goal 2019

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!
