Hey! I finished the Disappearing 9-Patch! This just needs a label and then it's being donated to Quilts of Valour. These are super-simple to make. A link HERE for the instructions.
I've seen these totally random and scrappy. I'm not crazy about them without a theme, so I was more structured in my fabric choice. Every block had a
yellow center surrounded by blue. The corner units were scrappy reds.
Once this is cut apart you get a nice continuity in the quilt.
All of my patches were cut at 5", and I made 30 of the 9-patch blocks. After adding a 2 1/2" outer border this finished at 69" x 82".
Mmm - I'm lovin' this new panto: Undulating Leaves.
On Saturday we got a surprise visit from Mr. Snowy Owl. When he took off his wing span was pretty darned impressive. Hopefully he was hunting the stupid rabbit I showed you last week.

In spite of last night's light dusting of snow which made outside look really pretty, I am so sick of winter!!! The back patio and the driveway are total sheets of ice. I haven't been for a walk since Tuesday. Why do we live here?? Should we move to Singapore and become the favorite/closest relatives of my great-niece? One of my customers gave me a gift of a six month subscription to The Quilt Show - my exercise these days is winging the computer monitor around and getting on the torture machine while I watch Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims videos. Yesterday I watched an episode on Scrap Quilts. Next up I will learn all about hexies. The site also has a bunch of puzzles from quilts, which I am totally addicted to. sigh. Spring, where are you?
