Organized disappearing 9-patch

This quilter used the trusted disappearing 9-patch pattern but when laying out her blocks decided to organize them to her liking.  We both agreed that grey is a versatile colour and shown here with the pinks and purples prove it.

Piecing again

The last quilt I pieced was in October 2021 and after moving to the new house in April 2022 I never got around to even finding all my fabric let alone piecing anything.  When I decided to tackle a new project it took some time to get my layout to work for me and I struggled a lot with the MUCH smaller sewing room I have now but I am sure the more I do, the better I will get my new place to work for me too.

My daughter had a rough week in that she first broke a toe, then got bit by a spider and it had to be cut open and drained in the theatre and while taking her blood, she passed out (funny as she works in a hospital and in theatre and sees blood and gut all the time).  However, as she said, everything happens in 3’s and she had 3, so yesterday evening they got on a plane and flew to the beach for a couple of days.

Stacked blocks

This quilter loves the scrappy look and after purchasing Moda sample books came up with this stunning version.

Picnic quilt from men’s’ shirts

This quilter leaves no stone unturned in using up everything she can lay her hands on.  This is definitely not the first quilt she made using old shirts and it will be used for picnics.  Whether the picnic is at night or during the day, one will surely see a cloud somewhere, which is why I chose this motif.

A quilt of many firsts

 As the name suggests this is my first quilt for 2023 and it was made by a soon-to-be first-time grandma for her first grandchild.  How’s that for repetition?
