red and orange disappearing 9 patch
 

Hi,
I started this little quilt (about 42" x 50") probably 1 1/2 years ago. All that was needed to finish was to put on the binding and I finally did it!!! It's a gift for a male cousin who lives in a nursing home; he has always loved reds and oranges. He's never really cold - this is just to brighten his room a bit.

A bright and beautiful quilt & I'm sure he will love it. You did a great job!

Beautiful and so nice of you!

Love the color combination

Well worth the wait, I love it and I am sure he will too.

nicely done.

What a great piece to brighten his room! :)

Very nice!! Love the colors!!!!!!

It is bright and happy and he will LOVE it! LOVE THIS!!!

Love it! Fall brights, not crayon orange. You did good!

So pretty. Nice job.

So it's to cozy up the room not the guy? Hey, that's as good a reason as any. Don't know what his nursing home is like, but my mom was in a dreary place that needed a few of these bright, beautiful quilts.

Won't he be thrilled?! I love it. Your border fabric reminds me of one I used on a quilt for my daughter.

I didn't think I'd like red and orange together. But, I DO!!! You have changed my mind! Your quilt is beautiful!

Oh, I really like this quilt.

Great choice of colors. How is it done? If you dont mind me asking?

Love the colors!! Great quilt

Love the quilt. just a note -- you might embroider his name on it --- as things have a way of disappearing in nursing homes.

Very nice job!!

Your colors look GREAT together!

Not only will it brighten the room, the CNA's will give him lots of attention and have something to talk with him about.

Quilting Grandma - so glad you brought that up about embroidering his name; I had thought of that at one point then the idea totally flew away!
Leakus - this is so easy and so much fun. Here are a couple of links to get you started: http://www.quiltsforkids.org/pattern...quilt-pattern/

I think my starting squares were 4", not 5" as Jenny used. Makes no difference, just remember some will be cut in half. Here's one in different colors and I have a red, white, blue as well! [ATTACH=CONFIG]365879[/ATTACH]

Very nice! You certainly aren't the first one to have a quilt in progress for a while! Great time to finish it with the fall colors.

Ditto!! My mom had some things disappear while she was a resident.

Well done. I have not been a fan of red and orange but those colours work really well together.
