It's amazing how it totally transforms the block, your eye wanders all over the place once it has been hung drawn and quartered!! :D

Joan 09-01-2008 09:13 AM

Love it---it looks sooo complicated, glad I know the "trick"--adding it to my to do list (colors are particularly nice, ones I wouldn't think to put together but they look wonderful---thanks for broadening my outlook!)

sewbusy 09-01-2008 09:18 AM

gracie_r 09-01-2008 01:44 PM

I love it! Very pretty.

Quilt4u 09-01-2008 02:24 PM

That is one beautiful quilt.

barnbum 09-01-2008 03:18 PM

That's very pretty!! Do you place the squares in that pattern every time--or change it? I mean--I can see how the small square goes up/down on the left in one row, then up/down on the right in the next. But--have you tried changing how you placed them? Or is there one best way?

Did that make sense? :roll:

sewnsewer2 09-01-2008 04:18 PM

Very pretty!

SewSew2 09-01-2008 04:27 PM

What a neat quilt....you are great with mixing colors. Enjoy your work.

MaxineB 09-03-2008 03:26 AM

I love a baby quilt that is big enough for a child to grow into. The colors are soothing & sweet. I really like it. :D

Quilting Aggi 09-03-2008 03:46 AM

so am I right when I say, you make a 9 patch block then cut it into quarters? How big would you make the squares? That seems like a much easier way to make that quilt than to cut two different size squares and a rectangle and piece them all together.

reneebobby 09-03-2008 04:49 AM

Cathy your killing me over here. Since you keep whipping them out like there is no tommorrow. We have a post here somewhere on how to do it but Cathy you showed how to do it just perfect. Great job.

SewSew2 09-03-2008 05:20 AM

Cathie,

I am going to make this quilt after seeing yours....very creative the way you used part of nine patch for the border. I going am going to stop looking at all these beautiful quilts as I want to make them. However they keep me inspired.
Beth

gcathie 09-03-2008 07:19 AM

MaxineB.....this is the 42 x 42....I like it when I don't have to piece the back...I could make it a couple rows longer that would be kid size then...Oh well ....


Quilting Aggi....Yes you are right....this is how I did this.....I cut 2 1/2" strips......then I sewed strips together and then cut them into 2 1/2" strips and yatta yatta....went together really fast....did this make any sense???

reneebobby....Thanks, I seen this first I think it was from DJ on Jun 25...but it has taken on new life....then Jerri did one in black and white and I knew I had to do one too....it's so cool how different the blocks look after you cut them apart and mix them up...who would have thunk it.... :D

SewSew2....Ditto on the inspriration....I love looking at all the prettys....Thanks for your kind words...happy sewing

reneebobby 09-03-2008 07:29 AM

I'm trying to get one started also but have been really busy, and I still need to get at least 3 more I-spy tops done, but I just got the backs for them. YIPE found what I was looking for.
