I'm sitting here in the airport in Vegas...waiting for our flight to board and I'm bored!
I started to look through pics I have taken in the last year and I realized that i missed blogging this.
It's a Disappearing 9 patch that I began in April during a Quilt-a-Way weekend.
I have nearly 20 blocks finished and I have a cute idea for the border. I plan on using the cement 'almost' solid Hunky Dory print for sashing. I used 4 different Moda lines plus a few other fabrics. Besides Hunky Dory, there is Celebration by Sandy Gervais, Sweet by Urban Chiks, and Simplicity by 3 Sisters. I wanted it to be scrappy and yet used the Hunky Dory in the center for all the blocks to unify them.
One thing I noticed as I was sewing with pre-cut charms...is that charm packs from 3 or 4 years ago are not the same size as the ones today. This caused some issues with my piecing..but it's fun.
Okay we're off.....
Very pretty! I have only made one D-9 but it was simple and fun to do. It was a baby quilt in red, yellow and blue. I made the centers all red so that it would give some cohesion to the quilt. I like a "planned" scrappy like you!
ReplyDeleteCute! The fabrics look great together.
ReplyDeleteThat is going to be a beauty! I'll have to keep the charms size in mind for some of those charm packs I've been hanging on to! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe different designs look great together. I love the scrappy yet co-ordinated look.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I did one recently using a Moda Kashmir II charm pack, with pale yellow, peach, and blue solids - the blue was my center square so it repeated throughout the whole quilt. It came out very nice - very pastel but peaceful!
ReplyDeleteHow cheerful! Love it.
ReplyDeletewere you by chance waiting for your plane at D-9 too, because that would be too funny!!
ReplyDeleteand just for the record "charm packs" by manufacturers other than Moda are slightly different too. All the way up to 6"!
Glad that you were bored at the airport, because we would have missed those photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the yumminess. Talk to you when you get back!
So pretty! All the fabrics look great together!!
ReplyDeleteinteresting about the charms...this is a cute quilt, all the lines you used seem to mix so well.
ReplyDeletevery cute blocks, love your fabric choices.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing the quilt finsihed
