I've been pretty quiet lately, because I have been working on this. A baby quilt for a new cousin.
Pattern: disappearing 9-patch, in an attempted random arrangement
Fabrics used:
Lizzie House Pearl Bracelet Tin Man, Riley Blake Ombre Dots Navy and Green; V and Co Ombre Solid Graphite and Lime Green; Print and Pattern Boy Toys Let's Go Sky (2 prints); Michael Miller Clown Stripe in blue and green (not sure of exact names); binding is Kona Glacier
I am entering this in the Mar/Apr Le Challenge, since the theme was geometrics and I was making a baby quilt this month. How's that for perfect? A geometrics theme and a baby quilt came together the same month. Did the theme affect my quilt? Not consciously, but I think it did because I had geometrics on the brain. I had been thinking of doing a much simpler (or maybe I should say "simpler") quilt of strips of my fabrics, different widths, etc, but all WOF. I think this worked out much much better. I love patchwork, and the trick used to get the disappearing 9-patch makes the patchwork look more complicated, but I also think it helps match up those corners, and it helps move the different fabrics around the quilt.

Such a gorgeous colour palette and the 9DP is such a clever design - it's a beautiful baby quilt :)
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be the perfect gift! Your choice of fabric is brilliant, everything goes so well together!
ReplyDeleteThe colours look really good together. I know exactly what you mean by "attempted random" as I am having the same problem with a quilt I have just started for my son.

ReplyDeleteVery cute! What a great gift for baby. Disappearing 9-patches are so great for attempted randomness. The colors in this quilt are just right.
ReplyDeleteIt really is a lovely quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt! What size squares did you start with to make the blocks? I want to make one with larger squares starting out and it looks like you did but I'm not sure. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI believe my original squares were 12 x 12 or 14 x 14. It has been gifted, so I no longer have it to reference!
