Well,I am not finished,but this is what I have been working on.Waiting for the rest of the fabric to arrive so I can move on with it.

Very nice!

Just love the color combination!

Beautiful!
I love the colors. :-D

Nice!!!!!!! I'm in the process of doing my first D9P !!
Just took a break to catch up here :D:D:D

How big are you planning on making it? Also when you cut your blocks out did you place them in all over areas or did you try to keep the set of 4 cuts together?

I sewed 9- 5" charm squares together and cut them in half cross ways and then again length wise and just stayed with in the same block and moved the 9 pieces all around. There were 9 cuts together,not 4.I plan on making it into a queen size I guess.I am really not sure yet until I get the rest of the fabric.It was fun to make though!

What I meant is after you sewed your 9 blocks together you cut them in half lengthwise and cross wise - which gives you 4 blocks, did you take those 4 blocks and rearrange them and sew them back together to make a bigger block again or did you randomly place all the cut blocks all over the place?

Does this make sense?

I stay within the same block and move them around. I used charm packs to make mine.

Great job! I'm in on the 9 patch project and plan to do a D9P too (my first).

Nice quilt - 5" my choice too.
I've seen a couple done with 6" or larger squares. Doesn't
come across well.

Very nice. Love the color combination you used. I have been wanting to make one of those quilts since I saw it a couple months ago. I guess I should just grab the fabric out of my stash and get cutting. :)

Super - I think I will use this pattern as my first quilt

Love it! This is so colorful, I'll bet you had alot of fun with this one. Great job.

You will really enjoy making this.I did!! I sure will do another one and I usually do not like to do repeats. No cutting 5" squares with charm [packs and it moves along real quick.Great for a beginner like myself.

I love, I need to control myself and stick to the present project.

It is so easy to get sidetracked when a new idea hits you.That is why we have those darn ufo"s !!!

Very pretty!!

How many charm packs to make a lap quilt? Any idea? I don't have a clue but want to work on something that doesn't require reading a pattern, just sew, iron, cut, sew, iron....

I bought a bag of 300 4" squares on ebay a year or so ago. Going to use this for my 9 patch project. What would y'all do, separate in lights, med & darks and just reach in and grab? Suggestions please!

This where I got the idea from ,if anyone would like the link for the disappearing 9 patch.

Nice work!

The more I look at this beautiful quilt top the more I think this is the pattern that is in the Mystery Quilt on Eric's Homemade. Any takers?

I love it.

I have no idea.I got this from the Cluck,Cluck sew tutorial for the disappearing 9 patch and I fell in love with it.it was so easy!!

Very nice!!

Love the colors!

Really nice, it reminds me of fall :)

Beautiful blocks and colors

looks great Joann- you are on a role!

Awesome job! I really like the Fall fabrics you are using. :)

They are from Moda and they are called Fabulous fall.They are so pretty and colorful and that makes it more fun to work with. Thank you.

Very nice quilt! I love the colors.

I love the colors! Very nice!

Oh I love it. The colors are wonderful!

Oh, I love it. A little confused how you used the 5" and put it together. I love charm packs too.
Hey Toucan - one charm pack comes with 42- 5" so I would think two of them would be plenty for a lap quilt.
I know how to sew 9 patches together and then cut horizotaly and vertically across the center. Just have to picture doing it in a larger scale. Thank you for sharing.

Looks great!

I love the fabric & color choices. Just send it my way when you're done, it'll work in my house,lol!! Gorgeous quilt!

Thank you all so much for all of the very nice compliments that you have given me on my first disappearing 9 patch.It inspires me and gives me the confidence that I need to keep on quilting.It is such a pleasure to be part of this newsletter. I just love you all.Thanks again.

love the colors, thanks for sharing!
