on more Disappearing 9-Patch
I received the fabrics I was thinking about using for this quilt (that I already had in my stash, but can’t find). I like George up there in the corner, the Declaration of Independence looks a little washed out, but it kind of works. I also turned the cut up Disappearing 9-Patch blocks again.
I may go ahead and try some stars for applique on the top, but I don’t have the right yellow. I have a bright solid, but I want something a little more subdued. I also thought about putting in some solid blocks– 7″ squares (the size that the Dis.9-Patch blocks are currently) from my patriotic fabric stash, but so far the the prints on the fabrics are too small to work with in that size. I have a print with the Star Spangled Banner I hoped to use, but unless I trim one section and add a border to make the block, it wouldn’t work right.
I am getting closer to the vision I see in my head anyway…















Moving blocks around:


















Welcome to my blog--it is mainly craft related, but it is a mixture of miscellaneous happenings as well. I live in the great Pacific Northwest, happily, rain and all! I am a multi-tasker by trade, enjoy quilting along with some beading, knitting, and general fiber art when I get a wild hair. I am also a homeschooling parent, but will likely not write much on that here. Enjoy!
