Dear Readers,
This fall I got an invitation for a baby quilt for a teacher at my school that I had taught with for some time, so I decided to make up a quilt I had been thinking of and had actually cut out, but not made.
I used the disappearing nine patch block. I did not use a charm pack but some scraps from a set of fat quarters of Kaffe-Fassett fabric that I had purchased and made a heart quilt out of last winter. Here is a tutorial on how to do a disappearing nine patch put out by Missouri Star.
I named this quilt "Blooms". It was amost 60 inches square. My only regret is I wish I had scaled the quilting down a bit as parts of it seem too big. I was able to use up some older fabric on the back. Some that would probably not made it into many tops! About a 2 yard win!
It is Thanksgiving week. I have been trying to catch up on a number of things this week. So thankful for the time off of work. I really needed the reset. I pray each of you and your families take time to thank God for all the blessing we have in this day and age. I know we have all had a tough year, but if you start looking at our blessings, we are really, really blessed.
Here if a picture of the sweet one using her quilt.
Sew on,
Terry
