Yesterday in a forum discussion on quilting.about.com, about what someone might make from a stack of 6-inch squares, people starting talking about the Disappearing 9-Patch and Christine suggested including 6-inch quilt blocks into the mix. The idea sparked for me. I immediately thought of the heart blocks.
I woke up thinking about the idea. I had to try it. But first I had to make more heart blocks.
As soon as the blocks were made, the rest was easy peasy.
Step-by-step photos and directions blogged here.
Until Christine mentioned it, I had never considered the D9P as a setting. She sparked all kinds of ideas for me now. But first I think I'll do some floral stash busting and make a colorful little hearts & flowers quilt that I know a little girl will love.
WOW...thank you so very much for this great idea! I have 2 wedding quilts to make and this will be PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!! I think I will use neutrals for the hearts and colors of the couple's choice for the other squares. GREAT IDEA!!! I am just loving this disappearing 9P idea!

The hearts in different colors are really appealing. Oh boy, another project waiting to be made! 'Course, this way I could use up lots of odd pieces of stash!
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you how many times I have thought to use D9P with cat prints to make a quilt similart to the one you showed!
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteIt treats my eyes to a fresh and spring-like feeling. I look forward to seeing more of this one!
ReplyDeleteI love your idea! Had to copy it and give it a try...so fun, and happy I think. You can see my creation on my blog.
