Working my disappearing 9 Patch!
1 Attachment(s)
I was nervous to start this, 1. Because my son requested all bright colors, and 2. A friend said she had done one and got bored with it. Well, I started this 24 hours ago, and I just finished laying my cut blocks out and am ready to start sewing them into rows or large blocks.
I'm excited too. My son came in and saw it and says he loves it, it's exactly what he wanted. He is turning 21 this year and he got my first quilt I ever made. A scrappy log cabin. He was 3. I think it's been easy due to my already having tons of 5 inch charms I had collected the past 10 years. So, I just started making the nine patches, zip, zip, zip. It will be a full size when it's done with borders and all. Thanks for looking. I'm so excited! [ATTACH=CONFIG]363970[/ATTACH] |

You've done a great job. So glad you're enjoying yourself and it's just what you son wanted. I like all the bright colors and the scappiness. (Is that even a word - scrappiness?)

It will be beautiful and bright, glad your Son will love it. I find men enjoy, use and like quilts the most. My Son has lots of them and is always willing to take more.
|
Such a lovely quilt. So bright and beautiful. You did a great job.
|
Every time I see a great DP9 I want to make one! Please post when you finish.
|
Brilliant. Love those colours.
|
I love your bright quilt and can see why a 21 year old would love it too. I have made a few D9P quilts and found them lots of fun to do. It is amazing how the placement of squares changes the design. Thanks for sharing.
|
I love it! :thumbup:
|
Terrific scrappy! :)
|
How very fun! You are ahead of the game when they like it before it is even finished piecing the top! That is one lucky boy.

I have not been a huge fan of D9P but this one has changed my mind, I love it too. The colors are fabulous and I have a ton of 5" squares also. You did a great job and I guess I need to make one too. Thanks for sharing.

I think the secret to it being so fast and liking it is having the charms all cut long in advance. LOL Thank you for your lovely compliment. |
Wonerful, scrappy D9P!
|
WOW, I never thought about using my charms for a D9P. I have tons of them sitting, cause I really don't know what to do with them. I am excited about finding a use for them now.
|
what a cheery, bright quilt this is making! Great job!!
|
Just terrific, great job and thank you for sharing, what a treasure for your son.
Have a Blessed day Ellen |
It's GORGEOUS!!! :thumbup: Lucky, Lucky son.
|
Thanks for sharing. I've spent the last few weeks organizing my scraps and now have a huge stack of 5" squares. Seeing your DP9 scrappy is inspiring and encouraging after all that cutting.
|
Beautiful! I am sure this is just what your son meant.
|
You have done a super job!
|
Good job and I can see why he loves it. Isn't it great when the kids are so appreciative?
|
I'm not jealous... I'm not jealous... I'm not jealous... I'm not jealous... and all laid ouot in 24 hours! I'm not jealous...
|
Its so bright and cheerful, this pattern never gets oreing. Just finished the binding on a pink one last night. I app three flowers on top of it. Did a blue and lime app dolphins on top.
love the bright colors |
I love the LOOK and process of a DNP and yours is lovely!
|
It is a beautiful and very colorful D9P. How nice that he wanted you to make it for him. I bet you are not nervous now that you have come so far creating the D9P - I see more of this design in your future.
|
Love the consistent use of the dark center patch which becomes like a cornerstone. It ties everything together.
|
I can see why your Son likes the quilt you are making him.
|
Wow! Just beautiful! It's such a happy quilt with the bright colors!
