Well I have played well today, had a great time Cathy!! I hope you like what I have made with some of your fabrics you so kindly sent over!!

I still have to put some borders on yet, but couldn't wait to show you all!! :D

Heres another one on the floor abit rumpled .... :oops:

absolutely gorgeous!

Very nice Izy.

Wonderful, wonderful. That is going to be a beauty. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Just beautiful!

Thanks everyone...and for all you quilters that haven't tried this block yet...do it, it is so darned easy peasy but what fun too!!

I used two packs of charms that had 50 pieces in each, with lots of different fabrics in about 6 different colourways. luckily Cathy M sent me yardage for borders etc. as I was short by 7 pieces to make up 12 blocks.
These fabrics are absolutely gorgeous the pictures don't do the colours credit, and the fabric is so soft, a real pleasure to sew with, thanks again Cathy :D

:thumbup: Lovely!

Izy...just wonderful.....stunning....fabulous.....okay you get the picture....just love this pattern too....

I love it!! Scrappy disappearing 9 patches are so much prettier than the ones only using a few colors. Those are rather boring to me but yours is awesome!

Izy, It is so beautiful and delicate, I love it.

Awwwhh you are all so kind...I haven't done much straight forward piecing, and this was good practice at matching up all the points, takes a bit to work out which way to iron left then right so the two 'lock', so each time I learn something new!!

That is one beautiful quilt.

What a beautiful mix of fabrics! I love it!

Thanks Gracie, this block is great for beginners, check the other posts about disappearing nine patches, there are some links to show you how if you haven't done it before :D

That is precious! So soft and sweet. Perfect for a baby or grandmother. :D

Love all the colors and fabrics-great quilt

This is beautiful!!

Kyia

It's beautiful!

So lovely Izy!! I love the soft pastel colors. You've done a beautiful job on it, as if I expected anything less from you! Jan

Oh that is so gorgeous, and the fabrics are sooo pretty!!! :) :) :)

Love those fabrics!! Beautiful!! Great job Izy!!!!!

Wow thanks everyone for your praise...couldn't have done it without Cathy M, who sent over the fabrics. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Barnbum...you guessed right...this will be a christmas pressie for my Mum back in the U.K. they have long miserable winter days and it gets cold during the day...Mum being mum she won't put the heating on during the day as everything is so expensive to run, so I think this will look lovely in her lounge which is greens, beiges and a hint of pink - perfect to keep her snuggly while she reads :D

ooooooooooooooooooo pretty

I love these fabrics--so soft! I'm working on a wall hanging using these same fabrics now. It's all put together, and I'm hand quilting it. That way I get to fondle those soft fabrics while I work! Your quilt is gorgeous!

Very pretty

Thanks folks - I am just adding the final border....boy have I had a time of it....the quilt was made in hours...the blinking borders... well don't go there, I don't think I was in the right frame today...even stitched one of the borders on back to front.....to name but one of many ooops!!! :oops:

Well here is an update - the borders are on and its now ready for quilting....how the heck am I gonna do that!! :roll: :shock: :D

Your choices for border fabrics are fabulous. Such a ladylike quilt!

Fantastic job Izy!! I love playing with those goofy charms. And the disappearing 9 patch pattern is addictive. I have one quilt top almost done using that pattern and some Texas bluebell fabrics. :) :) :) :) :)

Very pretty ...love those colors!

Cathy - It means so much to me that you like what I made with your fabrics.....This is going to my Mum in the U.K. she will love it - all thanks to you :D :D :D

Oh, Izy--it is even more exquisite with the borders!! You really framed your work of art well. Your Mum is going to love this quilt. The beautiful colors will really brightened her dreary winter days. Hope you can get a pic of her when she opens her package so we can all see her reaction.

That is turning out really pretty the border is just perfect.

Hi Izy, Love your quilt, you are doing a grand job there. Have you checked you text messages on your phone?????

Elle

Beautiful and I love pastel florals.

Oh thank you so much Marcia...I have really enjoyed making this top, its only my third and I have learnt so much from everyone here!! :D

I can't wait to get cracking on the quilting next, I am going to use the remainder of the border fabrics for the backing and I have a lovely soft baby pink for the binding. I might even put this in the exhibition we are holding in October.....we will see how well the quilting turns out first :roll:

how soft and dreamy.... ....very sweet :D

Izy- tell your mom that the quilt comes with loads of hugs from all your friends on the board. That will warm her up :):)
