This is my latest in quilts that I have made using the disappearing nine patch block using Moda's Woodland blooms. I purchased a 5 Yard pack - which was 1 yard of 5 fabrics in the story and I also bought another 5 yards to use with it.
Yes you have seen this fabric b4 - its the one i used on my frilly dilly bag.
This is a progress shot showing the 3 steps in making a disappearing 9 patch blocks. My quilt used 9 of these blocks - I made 11 so I had 2 spare sooooooooooooooooo
I made a table runner with the spare two. I simply used a full block in the centre with a half block at each end.
These was the first time I used a long arm machine and quilting frame so I started on the table runner and eventually with a bit of encouragement from my teacher, Dianne I moved onto my quilt.
This is a pic of my runner b4 the binding.
With biding on and on the table in use. Also a pic of the back to see the quilting a bit better.
here's the quilt, which I have decided to sue as a table topper for our very large dining table, b4 binding.
And after binding on the table.

This is so lovely!!, I love woodland blooms but haven't been able to find there here in Perth except in flannel (although I have to say I bought a heap anyway :-)!)
I love the fabrics and the quilt looks great. I also have a 5yd bundle and now I know how I will use it, so thankyou for the idea.
