Squares the Center Finished!

Finally finished 'Squares the Center'. This is the mystery quilt that was downloaded on Super Sunday 2011. I added an extra row on the bottom (shown on its side) to enlarge it. These primary colors are out of my comfort zone but do like it. Chose a very colorful backing with stripes and dots that match these colors. PlanetPatchwork by Diane Designs. Size 72" x 64"

Quilt Carry Bag

This is a Jelly roll Quilt Carry Bag done at a workshop for our quilt group....Takes 26 2 1/2" strips. I used a zipper in the top ....fill with quilts.....cords in the side to pull tight....Approx. 33" wide. Very easy to make and great to have something to carry my quilts to groups.

Disappearing 9-patch

I heard about this technique 'disappearing 9-patch'. I had just purchased these fabrics in 1/2 yd cuts. I was ready for Spring colors and this was so much fun to do. The concept is built on 5" charm packs but I did not want to do something big so cut into 3" . You make a 9-patch and then make 2 cuts and then begin to turn them the way you like them. 18" finished.

I tried this 'disappearing 4-patch'. You make 4 cuts on this one after you make the 4 patch and then turn 4 pieces. Amazing what happen...will experiment more with it. This would be great in lots of colors....red/white....black/white....so much potential!!
