I have decided to make a disappearing nine block quilt lap quilt.
I picked out the fabric using 9 different Fat quarters.
You can follow my progress on http://www.thriftyideastoday.com/
I will also post my finished project here. I can't wait to see how this will look once done. This will be my third quilt. If you have finished a disappearing nine block quilt please post pictures. I would love to see the different ways they are put together. Well off to get my sewing machine ready to sew.

Carol, that is a fun quilt to make! I am waiting to get mine back from the LAQ- I made a king and wasn't about to tackle the quilting on it!
Have fun!!!

PS. I would get one dark fabric for the center block though. You want it to pop.

Nice fabric. I love the kitties!

I went to your blog very nice and interesting.


But I like all your fabrics.

Love the fabrics ... do you remember where you found the kitty fabric ... love it!

Love the fabrics. Where the doggies? (just kidding)
I really do like the fabrics. I have not done this pattern yet but plan too. Looks like fun. Can't wait to see yours when you get it done.
Have fun. :thumbup:

I went to Walmart last night to pick up a 4 inch block template. They had a bin full of 5 pack fat squares - One had two patterns with cats. I looked at the fabric quality and it looked fine. So for $7.00 I figured why not. I had a few fat quarters at home that I was able to add to make the nine different patterns. I wish they did have a dog pattern since I want to make two lap quilts for my grown sons for Christmas. The cats work well for me since I have Three kitties at home.

Check out my posting 15th Sept and you will see the one I did for injured UK soldiers(Some of my quilts)

I forgot to ask where did you find the kitty fabric.

Walmart- in the 5 packs of fat quarters they sell for $7.00

Our Walmart don't carry them.

They are cute.

I've used only 3 fabrics per square in the D9P's I've done. They've been for block swaps, so do not have pics of a finished quilt with them.

This shows one complete block and about half a block of the other fabric combination I used.

I can't wait to see your quilt, those are pretty fabrics :D:D:D

I finished sewing all of the 9 blocks now to cut them up and resew them. LOL...my husband is like WHAT...why would you do that...

Thanks for your kind comments about my soldiers quilts. I look forward to seeing this one completed. Love your colour combinations!

My husband thinks I.m crazy too!! Tells everyone I buy yards of fabric, cut it all into tiny pieces then spend HOURS sewing it back together!! (He.s very supportive really!!)

Is that really how you do it? I thought you sewed each 9 patch individually, then cut them each through the center vertically & then horizontally & then sewed them all together. Maybe it will work your way too, but not so sure. I'll keep watching your progress. I'm thinking of doing one of these as well.

Disappearing Nine Patch is a fun quilt to make since there are so many different arrangements that can be made after you cut the block. Looking forward to seeing which arrangement you pick. Have fun!

Yes thats what I did. Each nine patch individually then cut v and h.Didn.t realise you had sewn all your blocks together first!! Interesting!!

Just looked back at the picture and I think you have stitched your 9 blocks then just placed them together for the photo?? I think Bluebonnet Sue thinks you have sewn ALL your blocks together before recutting. I think the photo is a little misleading!

I finished cutting up the nine blocks

I have placed them in a pattern. i made it so no seam lines meet. I also did cat/no cat fabric next to each other. OK time to sew them all together.

Wow! Looking good!!!! :thumbup:

Its going to be very pretty.

here's the one I made

Fabulous! How different they look with the choice of fabrics! Such a versatile pattern, quick and easy too, but very effective.

that is what I will be doing next

It was a busy week...I finally had time today to work on my quilt. I have attached the borders and will be putting it all together tonight.

Here's one I made for DGD who graduated high school in June. I used 4 fabrics, black and white fabric for most of 9 patch block and half of the centers were pink and the other half blue, May in Jersey

Here's one I made recently for DIL :) They are so much fun to do and quick!

Love it!

Love the colors!!!! I am tying this one and then I just need to do the binding. knock on wood...this is the first time that I have not had to rip out any of the threads..Woohoo...

Carol....it takes a little courage to make that first cut...especially if you're using quality fabric like Moda or whatever...LOL

Be sure to show us the finished quilt :)

I LOVE the kitty fabric!!!

Wow, what an amazingly beautiful and colorful quilt. I LOVE it!!!
