A flannel quilt in the disappearing nine patch is great have made
three baby quilts, I also didn't make it too babyish, so it can grow
with them. But one thing I did was stripes and plaids and pok-a-dots and then quilted in with pearl thread about a 1/2" from
the seam, and made it a large running stitch, it really turned out
cute, I did one in brown,green,blue, cream. The other was left over
from the first but put in more red and blue. Now this third one
I couldn't find pink that I liked, so I bought a package of receiving
blankets, in pink cut them into my 5" squares and made the disappearing nine patch with them. I then cut the left overs in half
and put strips at the top and bottom to make it more rectangle,
and finished it with a pink check. I still have to quilt that one. My
grand daughter will be born around Jan 17th. I hope I can get mine done in time. Just need to get it sandwich together and get
pink pearl cotton. Congratulations! This is a wonderful time.
