Scrappy D9P Finished!

This is a Disappearing Nine-Patch pattern in a very random and scrappy layout.  Out of the 441 squares needed to start the quilt, only a few are repeated and used more than once.  The way this pattern goes together, the fabrics repeat in some places but only 4 times for 49 fabrics.  Otherwise, nearly all the fabrics are different.

Pieced, quilted, binding on, and washed.

With all the squares and rectangles on the piecing, I quilted circles with hooked feathers randomly as I went along the quilt.  Then I filled in the other areas with loops and spirals.

One circle has a script L for the customer.  I don’t know if she’s found that yet!

The Start of Scrappy

A customer asked for a quilt “about queen size, to snuggle in” and her only color choice was “scrappy”.  I asked about styles and her favorite and not favorite color and she answered plainly, “scrappy”.  So I’m starting….

LEL fabrics

441  –  5″ squares are needed.  Here are 3 blocks in each section string-pieced.  It was a very long chain and I thought would stretch across my living room.  But it was twice across diagonally!

Purple for Northwestern!

This quilt is a for a friend of mine that doesn’t quilt but delights in following God’s leading of how she shows love & mercy to others.  I said I wanted to make her a quilt and her only idea was that it be purple, black, and white.  I was pretty sure that would be all she’d say which made me laugh when that was the reply I received back from her!  I knew just what to make!

30 blocks

Just the blocks laid out on my floor for arranging.

It is a planned Disappearing Nine-Patch pattern in that I purposely arranged the 9-patch units so that my dark purples would be the trail going through the quilt diagonally and the white with black fabrics would be the rectangles.  (The purple for my friend and the more predominately white fabrics in smaller pieces since she has kids.  🙂  )

All quilted, binding on, and washed for presentation.

02The backing is pieced too for extra fun!

I think labels are super important!  Sometimes I put the label on before quilting and sometimes afterwards.  Your choice.  If you have it on the backing already, please be sure to alert me when you bring the quilt in for finishing.

Personal delivery… the best!  🙂

I wish I could see her more often.
