Most of the D9P quilts had a variety of fabrics, but there were repeated uses of those. I had this lovely Victorian Decadence Layer Cake (Moda - 36 10" squares) that I was itching to make up, but wasn't quite game as each square was different. Then I saw Wendy's tutorial with all her different fabrics, and thought I'd give it a go!
One of my 9 Patches 
Cut into quarters
Layout One: very orderly to my way of thinking, but nice.
Layout Two: a little more random looking, although there is an orderly pattern there.
I think I prefer this one.
So that's what I've been up to today. I must say, it was a great feeling to be back in the sewing room after being away and then being too busy, to allow time there!

I have been wanting to give one of these a try. Just can't find the "right" fabrics.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your lovely comment about my 4SQS quilt. I know exactly what you mean about the colours, but would not have been able to put it so evocatively. :)
Hi Lindi,
ReplyDeleteDon't know where I've been, but I've only just begun to hear about this....(I suspect keeping my head down and focusing on finishing 1000000 UFOs would do it...lol).
I love yours and I quite like both layouts. Very pretty.
Are these about 12" unfinished 9 patches before cutting into them?
you beat me to it, I am wanting to try this too. Love your fabrics. Oh love the new banner too.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I agree, #2 is the winner. You have such good taste!
ReplyDeleteyes the D9P has so many possibilities I have used it several times-your colour combo looks so nice,reminded me of neapolitin ice-cream well done,cheers Vickie
ReplyDeleteHi Lindi, thank you for showing the disappearing nine patch. I was interested in making one as well, now I can due to you posting the steps. Warmest Regards Lyn
