Here's a SIMPLE Disappearing 9-Patch You'll Enjoy!


Hi Reader,

No sooner do I get close to finishing a quilt than another idea grabs my attention. As you know, there are four twin size charm square quilts I'm working on using different Disappearing-9-Patch Layouts. This week's is number three and I'm already working on the fourth.

Oh, Happy Spring! 🌻🌞🌼

I've gathered my floral fabrics for some upcoming spring quilts. Plus I have some other great choices to work with to make a few more quilts I've been thinking about. Particularly a baby quilt for a new member of our family. You can see the fabric I've chosen towards the end of the video above. Or you can check out the Cottage Grove Layer Cake Fabrics at the Fat Quarter Shop.

If you're like me, spring also means time in my gardens. I love growing flowers to brighten up our yard, plus herbs and greens for eating. Being outside this time of year feels wonderful after a few cold months. My perennials are popping up and getting me excited to do some more digging.

Between our newest bird-sanctuary garden and all the song birds we have visiting, I've been busy online learning all I can. My husband has discovered that Black Oil Sunflower Seeds are a favorite which certainly seems to be true. So yes, I now have 100 seeds to grow some of these large flowers ourselves.

If you like to garden inside or out, here are a couple links you might enjoy to find just what you're looking for. Leaves and Soul offers interesting products that are specific to various plants. I'm trying the Herbs & Greens liquid fertilizer. I love adding fresh herbs when I'm cooking and am anxious to see how this work.πŸ₯—πŸ₯™πŸ₯—

I also want to add a small lettuce garden but being in GA that'll only work in spring and fall. My best producers are basil and parsley which grow like crazy! So that'll be for the edibles and maybe a bit of cilantro, too. It's too hard to compete against all the critters that want to each my veggies. So flowers and greens it is. 🌺🌞🌸🌿🌱

Thanks so much for following along. Have a great rest of your week!

Hi Reader, There are three quilt block techniques that always get quilters excited. First is a rag quilt, most likely because they are very easy and don't require traditional quilting. That makes them a perfect quilting-for-beginners choice. Second is the disappearing 9-patch. The initial block is a simple 9-patch which is then cut into multiple pieces and rearranged into some very interesting designs. Third is the potato chip block. It's definitely been a favorite of mine, too! The allure...
