Ok, I tried it. It's not bad. Was pretty easy, but I thought I had enough blocks to make this, but had to go thru my entire stash to find coordinating colors. That was the hard part. I don't have many pastels, but I made do.
It's not sewn, just layed the blocks out If you see any blocks that should be moved, let me know. |
Looking good Terri :D
Hardest part, making sure you don't end up with two fabrics or colours together....I spent ages going over and over, I stuck a piece of flannel on the wall with blue tack so I could position - reposition...stand back....start again, ooopps it fell off, now which way up did it go, like a giant jigsaw puzzle lol!! |
I never thought about cutting them all up first....makes it even scrappier looking - clever girl!!
|
I can't tack anything to my walls, they are cement. :(
Why wouldn't you cut it first? If ya didn't, then you'd just have the 9 patch block. This way, I have it all cut so I can see where everything would go. ***edit*** Sewing it together now. Top should be done soon, I hope! |
Terri we have cement walls to in Spain....I just used sticky stuff, white gunk that sticks to the surface, a big glob of it then stuck pins thru the flannel into the gunk!!
Looking forward to seeing it finished off!! Edit... forgot to mention I hung the flannel over a picture first so that takes most of the weight!! :oops: |
I see! Well, I don't have any wall space in my room. My book case takes the only wall that it would fit on. I don't have ANY pictures up on the walls :(
I have pain in the arse landlords who said that in order for me to put pictures on the walls, I have to hire this lady who will do it for me. NOT!! So, instead of arguing with the landlords, we just don't have any up. I do have framed pictures in the house on bookcases and such, so it's not a pictureless house. I just can't have my fine art up :( |

Ok, I have the top done. I do have a couple seams that didn't match up. Don't know why, but they could have been blocks that I really wasn't going to use and got mixed up when a certain little girl kitten wanted to help. It's ok, can't really notice.
I'll probably tie this one actual color of border [ATTACH=CONFIG]17394[/ATTACH] |
Turned out nice Terri.

Word to the wise....DO NOT RENT OVER THE INTERNET WHETHER YOU HAVE A REALTOR OR NOT!! |
Thanks Renee

very pretty. The border really sets it off.
|
Terri-looks like you have been having fun! (Next thing you know we will have a whole thread of everyone's disappearing nine patch-it seems to be really catching on. :) ) It must go together really quickly. Fun quilt!!!
|
Real purtee!! lingo catching on now...... :lol: I was wondering how to quilt it.....think I will go through the diagonal through the big squares.....we will see!! :D

I think I'm going to try a 2 color one. That way, I can strip it. :) |

Kit...he's handsome. He doesn't like to be called pretty. lol |
Of course he doesn't. He's a very manly cat, and he has his pride, even though he does spend his time laying around on soft quilts!

tlrnhi.....now wasn't that fun.....sure alot of ways you can go after you cut your blocks up....love it just love it...Thanks for sharing....Think the Cat agrees.....That manly looking thing....holding the quilt down.....:-)
|
I love the scrappiness of your quilt! And the soft colors. Looks like someone has already claimed it for his own :)
|
looking great Terri!!
|
Your quilt is beautiful! I want that cat!! lol :) :)
|
Thanks all.
It is sort of pretty. It's still growing on me. :) Shadow...sorry, you can't have him. You can come here and snuggle with him. He does this great trick. He'll lay down on the couch with you and all of a sudden...POOF! You are asleep! :) Plus, Shadow....you'd hurt yourself trying to pick him up. He weighs 25 pounds. He's big boned. |
Looks GREAT!!!
|
I really like that pattern and want to do one as soon as I get a gazillion other projects done.... :D
|
What a coincidence, I am making a disappearing 9 patch too. I fell in love with this block. Will post pics this weekend. Yours is beautiful Terri.

Very nice...you couldn't have picked a better color for the border. That green really brings everything together. Good job.
|
Beautiful work and colors. Also just finished a disappearing 9 patch top today. Making it for a sweet gal that supplied me with lots of bugs this summer for a batch of wild turkeys. Found some cute "bug" material, the quilt is throw size and will send it to her. SHH, don't tell her, it's a surprize! :-D Love your scrappy ones but this one is simpler. Will post picture when finished.
