Over the past few weeks I've had the chance to sew with a new fabric line from Penny Rose fabrics, called Faded Memories. It's designed by Gerri Robinson (Planted Seed Designs). The line has a mix of pretty, deep reds and blues (see all of the prints here). For my project I wanted to keep things simple - and classic. So I chose to use just a few of the blue prints from the line, and what's more classic than a good ol' Irish Chain quilt? The navy in this line is such a great navy color - it's not a black-navy, and not a purple-navy. It's just...navy! And the lighter blue color is lovely - almost a cornflower blue. See that blue floral border print? I chose it because it reminded me of the pretty blue and white pottery (like this) that my mother-in-law used to have displayed in her home years ago. Irish Chain quilts usually look more complicated than they actually are, and this quilt is no exception. Strip piecing makes quick work of the nine-patch blocks: You can make all of the nine patches from one print like I did here, or you could make it scrappy like in this red & white version. The finished quilt measures 56" x 68" (throw size). Make sure you go here and grab the free downloadable PDF pattern for this quilt!

My dear husband put up the snow fence this year and its working! It's worked so well ... much of the state has been affected!! Sorry snowmobilers and fans of snowy winters,,I am not going to ask him to take it down yet. Its been real nice for me & my car to get down the lane with out bucking snow drifts, not to mention the garage flooding from snow melt. The bad thing is ...I haven't got to wear my new coat or snowboots and ,sigh, and I was so excited to put them to use. Oh well, Feb & March can still prove to be cold and snowy. I also haven't been doing much sewing...OH, NO...and I do need to get going on some projects. My stash pile has grown instead of shrinking like it normally does during the winter. YIKES! Best wishes to everyone in 2012

Here it is! My collection of black and white fabrics is now a Disappearing 9 Patch quilt! To tell you the truth, I wasn't crazy about the black and white color scheme, it just isn't me. But I wanted to use colors outside my comfort zone, and I really like how it turned out! My favorite part of the quilting process is taking the finished quilt off my longarm machine because it has become a quilt. That is when I decided I really like this one. I was going to sell it, but it is definitely growing on me! (Editor's Note: The Disappearing Nine Patch quilt design is not my own, and I do not intend to imply anything more than insight into the fabrics I chose, and how I made it for my own personal use. I did some research before I posted the quilt, and there are several different names, including "9 to 4", "Tossed Nine Patch", and others. Just like many other common quilt designs, there are tutorials and photos of the design on many quilting websites and blogs. This blog is not intended to be downloaded or copied in any way, it is for your personal enjoyment only.) Now I am going to show you how I made this Disappearing 9 Patch quilt. It looks complicated but it is really easy!! I used darks (black), lights (white), and an accent fabric (red). This quilt is about 62"x84", it is 4 blocks wide and 6 blocks long, for a total of 24 blocks. For each block I used 4 dark squares, 4 light squares, and 1 accent square. I cut my fabric into squares 4-1/2" x 4-1/2". I used a total of 96 dark squares, 96 light squares, and 24 accent squares. Here is a pile of my 4-1/2" black and white squares. The next step is to sew the 9 Patch block. I made 24 blocks that look like this, with the dark squares in the corners and the accent square in the middle. I didn't worry about what fabric goes where, other than light, dark, and accent, because as you will see it doesn't matter! And my finished blocks look like this. I made make 24 of these. This is a traditional 9 Patch block! The next step is to cut each 9 Patch into 4 equal pieces with one horizontal cut and one vertical cut, like this.Now here is where the 9 Patch disappears! I turned two of the blocks, so it looks like this.I sewed the 4 small squares together into a finished block. I ended up with 24 of these blocks. I then sewed them together in rows, 4 blocks wide and 6 blocks long. The blue line shows one block. Below is what the quilt looks like when the blocks are all sewn together. As the saying goes, "It's not a quilt until it's quilted!" This is my Statler Stitcher at work. I chose a quilting design called "Too Much Bubbly". It is a design with lots of little circles, I thought the quilt was busy enough and needed something fairly simple with curves and repetition. I chose red thread to compliment the red accent squares. I like to put a narrow accent border to frame the quilt, and then a wide border to finish it off. It is like putting a double mat on a picture. Here is a picture of the back, you can see the quilting design. It is the same fabric that I used for the accent blocks and narrow border on the front, even though Photo Shop changed the color a little ;-) Rather than using black and white on the back, I think it is fun to use a fabric that creates a little bit of a surprise! Now you know how I made this Disappearing 9 Patch quilt! Here is the finished quilt one more time...

I joined Amanda's Nine Patch a Day quilt along last April and finished the first half of the blocks in May and the second half of the blocks in June. I finally got around to piecing the top of the quilt in November and basting it together in December. I spent last weekend quilting it and finally finished sewing the binding on last night. Phew...that was a long project! And to put things in perspective, Amanda made two of these identical quilts, along with a handful of other quilts, in the time that it took me to make one. She is amazing! I used a flat sheet from IKEA for the backing and fabric from one of Amber's destash sale bundles (she's having another destash sale right now at her etsy shop). I used Julie's Perfect Binding tutorial for the first time and I was so impressed with how nice the binding join looks. I was so excited to pull this out of the dryer last night in all of its crinkly goodness. The quilt is a twin size (68"x86") and used 70 different nine patch blocks. Each square in the nine patch was 2.5" before sewing. It's on its way to a special someone later this year, so I have just a little while longer to stare at it before I give it away.
