Memory Failure!!
 
Why is it our brains lets us remember a pattern, but then we forget where we saved it GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Does anybody remember seeing the baby quilt ... it's a free pattern and you can make 2 quilts at the same time. The only thing my brain lets me remember about it is it starts with a big square. OMG I even have the fabric all cut out but can't for the life of me find the pattern. This "SUMTIMERS" is really getting on my last nerve!!! Your help is well appreciated. Thanks, Wendy

that happen to me once. went to the lqs and
bought another one. two days later guess what?
yup, found it undersome fabric.

I know exactly which one you are talking about. You cut once and I think it is roughly about two yards of fabric. Each quilt has the opposite predominate color. Sorry... I do not know how to explain it very well. But I ran across that pattern a longgggg while ago when I was first learning to quilt.

Long story short.... I do not have the webpage address, but I am going to help you search for it.

Was it the one that you used 1 yard of 3 different coloured fabrics to get 3 baby quilts? I believe it was a modifed 9 Patch, if that was the one. I can't remember where to find the post or the site it was from either. It was so simple I didn't bookmark it. You stacked all three layers on a large cutting mat. (or you could do them one at a time) You cut 10-12 inches off all 4 sides. You then switch up the exact same size blocks with the different colours to form 3 different quilts.

I used that three at once Super Size 9 patch pattern one afternoon on a guild sewing day and made 6 baby quilt tops. If we had had three more coordinating fabrics I probably could have gotten 9 done. It's very fast and very easy.

Thank you soooo much. I saved it and I printed it, surely to God I won't loose it again. I knew it was simple but my simplier brain lost out, LOL Wendy

I had seen this pattern before, but never printed it out. I did this time. I just got some fabric today and it was flannel. I thought it was cotton, so much for reading discription before ordering on line. One piece is cream, the other brown. Not exactly baby colors, but I have some other pretty flannels in baby prints that I can use with the fabric I just got. No babies due around my family that I know of, but would make great charity quilts. Thanks

Thanks for the link. This is a real workable pattern. A great way to highlight some of the really cute fabrics.

Ditto, lol.Thanks!

A thought: If you like, you can add to one of these quilts with a large applique in the center. I cut a teddy bear from fleece scraps and machine appliqued it to the finished, quilted project.

Thank you for your memory failure - that is a wonderful pattern and all my friends seem to be having grandbabies right and left and these are wonderful - make up 3 or 4 and have them ready when the babies arrive. Thank you thank you and also to TShooters for posting the web info - great group here on the Quilting Board.

Painiacs 01-16-2012 07:33 PM

Never seen it before! Thank you!!

TShooters 01-17-2012 07:34 AM

Awww..you're welcome, Wendy and all. I want to make some of these, too.

Go to Missouri Star tutorials.

Edit: I went to the site this morning and didn't find the one I was thinking of, but I did see Jenny do one of these quite a while back.

jeanneb52 01-18-2012 06:04 AM

Wow I went to the link downloaded at once. I have many baby quilts to get done and this is the winner!!!!

Happy Linda 01-18-2012 06:43 AM

Thanks, I will love doing this quilt.

solongrandma 01-18-2012 09:17 AM

I have the pattern but not sure how to post. Super-sized Nine Patch from quiltmaker.com. It was dated May/June 06.

I love this quilt pattern and don't see any reason you couldn't add one more and sew all 4 together to make a twin size or large throw. You could even do them as regular 9P on this giant scale, make them into D9P, using 4 instead of 3 and have a large interesting quilt. This quick and easy pattern has so many possibilities!!! Thanks for bringing it back to our attention!!

sew1 01-18-2012 08:20 PM

So easy, even I might be able to do it. Thanks for this pattern.

maryfrang 01-19-2012 04:12 AM

I love the pattern for making three out of flannel. I used my surger and made them as receiving blankets. I must of make 12-24 this way for a home for young mothers. I also made them for my family. They were different but nice receiving blankets. I have also used searsucker to make them. Good luck just some ideas for using the simple pattern.

Happy Tails 01-19-2012 04:34 AM

LOLOL OMG I didn't know my loss of memory would be so happily received!!! It really is an awesome pattern. Soooo you're all welcome for my "sumtimers" LOL
