I think I just wanted a quick fix when I put this together because this design is so easy to make but in the end I was disappointed with the finish. I cut really big squares and made 5 giant 9 patches from some fat quarters I had bought earlier.
I then chopped them all in quarters and sewed them up again after rearranging the new squares.
I am working on so many long term projects at the moment, I haven't had the satisfaction of finishing anything.
One week to go and school for my students finish and then another week of cleaning, a first aid refresher and more cleaning and I am free for 6 whole weeks. Ah the wonder of it all.
Your quick fix is quite pretty and will be for years to come. Great choice of fabrics!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what will you do with all that free time?
Enjoy your summer!
I love disappearing ninepach quilts. So fast, and one never quite knows how it turns out. I can well imagine that you look forward to your break! You, like any other teacher, have surely earned it.
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt. I haven't ever tried a disappearing nine patch. I know what you mean by needing a quick fix while working on long term projects.
ReplyDeleteLucky you! Summer vacation-we are approaching the heart of winter.
I bet you won't have any trouble finding things to do! Are you planning a big trip again?
It's wonderful! I love how the black makes my eyes hop around this quilt. Sometimes simple is the best. Best wishes finishing up before vacation.
ReplyDeleteIt looks good - I haven't tried it before - I might just have to put it on the to-do list!
