Progress….

July 24, 2009 By 18 Comments

I said I’d work on it and BY-GOLLY I did!!  I spent Tuesday afternoon sewing the rest of the nine patches together, and then cut them up.  I have laid it out several times………trying to find the perfect balance, you know.

I am so excited though, to be this close to finishing it up.  My Katie (who this is for) has been ever so patient waiting for this quilt.

Let’s be honest here though, if you had asked me a year ago if I would ever be making my daughter a quilt, I would have laughed in your face!!   :)   It is true what they say about that quilting ‘bug’.  It is a very contagious disease, and I am infected!!  :) heheheh!!

If it wasn’t for those precious pre-cuts though, I think I might still be afraid of quilting!!  :)

Here is my progress as it is right now….

If the day goes as planned, i will have this baby put together!  Then I will be back here asking opinions about borders and quilting!  :)

In case you are wondering….I used Sweet, by Urban Chicks (Moda) charm packs.

What are you working on??

    Your disappearing 9 patch is very cute! I’ve made several of these and can never get the blocks to be all the same size once I cut them up. I am disappearing 9 patch impaired!!

    What I’m working on right now is binding an enormous quilt for a customer and putting the finishing touches on 6 patchwork handbags.

    Thank you thank you thank you! for posting the pics of that. I had been thinking of doing that look, but the method I assumed it was would have taken SOOOOOOO much longer. That looks super cool and would work great for the next one I have material for. Love it! I just assumed I was going to have to cut rectangles. I love that it comes from the nine patch and you just cut it up. I have no problem cutting up squares (unlike my mom who has loads of trouble “letting” herself do so)…I love strip sets so this wouldn’t be that different. I have only been quilting for a year and never saw myself doing so either…but thanks to Moda and charm packs, I got started and haven’t stopped for air yet. Thanks again!
