Motivation has returned to the House'o'knickers, thanks to some lovely parcels of fabric!
Nice to have the ol' sewing mojo back again!The quilt top pictured above is half completed - I still have 10 blocks to sew, than all the blocks need to be joined together. I have based my design on this pattern I found whilst randomly googling the other day. I am using HR fabrics in blues/oranges/yellows, and the squares are all 4 inch.
The quilt top below was made in an evening (well, technically I did sew well into the wee hours), and is again a disappearing nine patch, but this time each nine patch had nine fabrics (6 inch squares) laid in an identical order. I used a most of a fat quarter pack of Metro Market by Robert Kaufman (I weeded out the pinks, and substituted them for a couple of greens from the stash). It still needs a border and some sashing.
I'm hoping that my motivation sticks around long enough to finish these two quilts by the end of the week. I so look forward to laying on the couch under either of them!

Love them! Disappearing nine patch is so quick and easy. You've gone a great job xox
Lovin' the HR prints - all of them!
The blue and orange look great together.
I love your disappearing 9 patches, I've just finished one myself, so easy aren't they.
Both Quilts look Great...always a good standby Pattern...it's amazing how different each quilt can be...hope you get a finish..
cheers
I so lvoe both of them but the Heather Ross one is so cute. You have so managed to make the patterns look their best
Your HR quilt is gorgeous! I love orange and it looks great combined with the blue. The prints are so much fun, I imagine some lucky child having a great time with this quilt.
Love them!! Love the colours in both of them too!
Motivation? your post is enough motivation for me. Now I can get started with my own dispearing ninepatch quilt, at least a lap size quilt. great work! I can'wait o see them finish and to see what you use as backing. both quilts are great.
Aha, they look fantastic! I can see the pattern in the bottom one from using the identical patches- did you use any strategies for making the top one random, or was it just...random?
