The camo quilt is my sons. He picked out the fabric which is a cotton canvas type. It was a PAIN to work with. I will never do that again. I didn't like this quilt until I got the backing on it. Now it kinda talks to me. The quilting is terrible. Just a SID around the blocks. Never to be seen up close!

This is the backing. I also used the backing as the binding. A first for me but I really like doing it that way and will another soon.

And everyone has their own disappearing nine patch quilt! This is mine. Done with Moda's Wildflower Serenade. I just randomly put the blocks together and quilted with black on the front with a meander. The binding I put on the back first and wrapped it around to the front. Just something I tried. Probably will do again.
Buddy is making sure this one is fully tested.

I love the colors in your disappearing 9 patch!! Great job!!

Very nice.

BEAUTIFUL! Congrats one getting them done. :D

Havn't worked canvas with quilting, guess I won't even think about trying!! I have that fabric you used on the back, have used it on a couple of Home of the Brave quilts and have more to use in a quilt for DD who's in Arm. Love your Disappearing nine patch, havn't made one myself yet. Maybe someday!

Shelly your sons quilt is sooooo right for a boy!! Great job, bet he loves it to bits...well not literally I hope for a long time :lol:

Gotta LOVE D9P quilts...that is so lovely and snuggly looking, the backing fabric is cute too :D

Great job on both! I love the D9patch and the camy one is so cool!!

Love them both ! Even though the camo quilt was difficult it is really awesome for a guy. Great Job on both

Shelly,

love the quilts.. good job.. I was hoping to see a little bit of the quilting.. Did you do these on dizzy?

Keep up the good work

I WANT THAT KT QUILT!

Great quilts! And puppy approved too! Make more!

Shelly--I love both of your quilts. I have some of the backing fabric from your son's quilt--I used it to make fabric postcards for veteran's day. I love your D9P-KTQ are my favorite!!! Gorgeous quilt.

You always do wonderful work! I've kept my eye out for the digital camo, two in the Army mean I need the digital design. I found some blue and white for my Navy nephew but he doesn't want a quilt of it. He want's "normal people stuff" Aunt Sharon. lol lol

You can show your quilting!
Hugs,
Sharon

Those are awesome!! What a perfect quilt for a young man!!! What a good mom you are! I absolutely LOVE Disappearing Nine Patch!!! Awesome work!!

What beautiful quilts you have made. I love the one for your son & I am sure he will treasure it forever. Your D9P is gorgeous also. I am working on a D9P myself, using Watercolor Wraps in brown for my husband. Isn't that a fun pattern to do?

Very nice.

Yep, both on Dizzy. Here's a close up of the d9p when it was on the frame. http://shellysblogspotblog.blogspot....-on-dizzy.html I used thread from ThreadArt on them both too. Same spools actually! I will be ordering more from them.

I must say. When I bought KT I had my doubts about it. The colors, the patterns....but with it all together, I love it. They are coming out with a Wildflower Serenade II that I already plan to get a couple layer cakes of. Plan on doing a d9p with those big squares. :-)

I have no idea where to begin about the camo quilt. Finding military camo quilting fabric in 3 colors isn't easy! So when we found the green, gray, and brown, we got it. I called it the 'camo vomit' quilt for quite a while! :lol: The canvas is just alot stiffer and doesn't like to move. When trying to sew in the ditch, if the seam didn't lay right I couldn't just run over it with the hopping foot and squish it down. It would bump me off course. It is really heavy too.

GORGEOUS

Love your DNP - I think it's the nicest one I've see.

How many different fabrics did you use? Wonderful choice of colors.

They both look pretty darn good to me .....do love the D9 patch the most .....Thanks for sharing

they're all great, but i do love the back of your son's quilt. oh, the things we do for love... :wink:

Great colors for great quilts :lol:

Seriously cool quilts!
Where did you get the backing fabric for the D9P? I'm not usually big on florals but that one rocks!
Zoo

What a great camo quilt, Shelly. I love the backing too. And, the DP9 is great. At least you finished them :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Both quilts are wonderful but I do love that camo one!!

They look great from my angle...nice job...great quilts :D

Both quilts are very nice! My SIL would love the camo one and I especially like the D9patch :wink:

Beautiful Shelly!! :)
