disappearing Nine Patch

Another finish, although this one is pretty small. I practiced one of the quilting stitches I learned from Barbara Shapell. This will be the first of the accent pieces I plan on making for the living room. I was fortunate to have some of the line in larger pieces than the charm pack, and used the green for the binding. Otherwise, the body is most of the Morris Workshop charm pack, I had four pieces left over.

Disappearing Nine Patch

Talk about quick! OK, I wasn't going to start anything new until I got a few things farther along. But I had an idea to make a few things for our living room, table toppers, runner to put under the TV, and a few pillows. And I thought I would use some of the Morris inspired, or Art Nouveau inspired fabric, or maybe both kinds. and I started looking around for some simple patterns so these could be done fairly quickly, and well... Then I took out some boxes of fabric, and found a Moda charm pack of Barbara Brackman's "The Morris Workshop" and the instructions for a Disappearing Nine Patch. So, the blocks are done, laid out on the design wall to see if any tweeking needs to be done. And I will get back to what I should be doing.
