:-) I am new to this so I ask you bear with me. I have only completed one quilt in my whole life (it's long) and I would like to make something for a friend's special 70th. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hey Craftybear,
Thanks for the speedy response -- I just printed out a free quilt pattern, Turning Nines into a Seven Pattern. I think I can strip quilt and it looks like you make 4-nine blocks intersected by a cross, so I'm thinking 4 sets of 4 or maybe 6. I want it to be big enough.

What is a disappearing 9 patch anyway?

Hello and welcome from Ontario. Warm wishes is a nice pattern to use if you want to feature one or more fabrics.

Welcome! You'll find so much advice here, and ALOT of ideas, LOL!

Welcome from central Alabama. Here is a link to a nice block that was posted on another forum. I gotta try it, someday.
