Finally, something that is completed to share for Sew & Tell.
The fishies disappearing nine patch was stalled for awhile, but is now completed. You may recognize this fabric as the super duper buy that I got at a yard sale this spring. The top came together quickly, but then the project was stalled when my Bernina which is the only machine I have a darning foot for decided it needed a vacation at the repair shop.
Meanwhile, while stopping at a yard sale down the street I found this chair ... for $1 (about what it is worth, right).... There were two, and the guy was going to give them both to me for that price, but I only wanted one ... I know, what was I thinking. In the back of my mind was this..... the cute little chair that is in Cheryl's blog header.
I still have not done anything with the chair, but the quilt is done, and I think it matched pretty well and works as a nice staging prop to show off the completed project. Much better than the fence.
Stats for Fishies: measures 38 x46, Beach Party by Laurie Godin from Northcott fabric, misc from stash, binding is Michael Miller orange clown stripes.
What fun and bright colors. Perfect for this pattern. Quilt looks great! I've been wanting to try the disappearing nine patch for a while now. :o)

Sew On!
Cute quilt, Diane.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my sew and tell. :) I appreciate your input on the magazine cover. Love your ideas about showcasing the quilt!
This was the one you had on display at your house. It was a disappearing nine-patch quilt like the one we did in your class.
