I have trying to use up some of my fabric scraps ,,,,I don't think I will ever get to the bottom of the bag. This quilt is made with disappearing 9 patch ,and its my first go at stippling a quilt

I have added a couple of pictures of the block first cut and then with the 2 opposite corners turned ,,,I hope this helps

I have done the disappearing 9 patch before and mine looked nothing like this. Guess I will have to make some more blocks and try rearranging them in this manner, it's very pretty. Nice work. hugs, Susan

Good job! The neatest thing about the disappearing 9 patch is that you can arrange the blocks any way you want, from a precise pattern to wild abandonment. And it all looks good.

Looks like it is all made from one block, repeated and mirrored. Am I right? Love the effect.

Where was the white in the 9 patch? Chan you show me a picture? I really like how you did this. I have done several but, they never came out with all one color surrounding most of the blocks. Please share how you did it.

Go to Top of the Class, this is fantastic. Truly eye catching, I will have to show this to a good friend of mine she does lots with the nine patch and see if she has done this one....love it.

its so easy , just make a 9 patch with the same colour in the corners and a contrast in the center, I used up all my white tone on tones for the other squares, press , then cut through the center,
by aussiequilter 31 Aug 2013
opps sorry I forgot to say after you have cut them ou turn the 2 opposites' to the center

I have been quilting for a long time ,since 1985,some have been given to me by my daughter as well
by robinbird 31 Aug 2013
Well,it must be a delight to see all the fabrics put together to make a lovely quilt. Wondered if you did the stippling with embroidery machine or perhaps a long arm machine?
by aussiequilter 01 Sep 2013
I must take a picture of it all finished ,I used my janome 6600 with the pogo foot ,I would love to have a long arm ,but alas I don't .....

Looking thru my stash too. Can I ask what size you cut them as the ones that I do are 7" blocks . Great as I embroider on the plain ones (cnrs) but this time I need to make smaller blocks. Does 5 1/2 " - 6" sound about right ? Love your choice and placement of colours. Regards Ros
