Disappearing Nine Patch Quilts

We are using this block for our next charity quilt - using our chosen grey fabric as the centre square.

The following links show some clear instructions for making the blocks and some different layout possibilities -

Another Baby Quilt…

Thanks Kathy Q. for your hospitality this week. We had a great turnout and a few new faces which is wonderful

Kathy I. has finished a baby quilt for a boy. She was concerned at the amount of ‘girly’ florals in it, so has appliqued some cute, blue teddy bears. It looks gorgeous Kathy!

And to continue the theme of the Disappearing Nine Patches, here are the blocks I have made just put up randomly on my design wall

Show & Tell June 2010

Thanks Maggie for hosting this week.  We were busy auditioning and cutting fabric this week as well as our Show & Tell

Melissa has completed the top for her baby quilt in a Chinese Coins pattern for her very own baby, expected very soon.  It will be great to welcome an ANZA baby.

Maggie has completed another baby quilt; this one has a lovely embroidered panel in the centre Tiiu put together squares from a Moda fabric range which will now have applique or embroidery added

Tiiu – appliqued tree and birds     

Kate’s version of a Sue Spargo design. Kate has made hers with Japanese fabricsand the back of the quilt…
