Name: Baby Modern Disappearing 9 Patch
Design: based on a tutorial by Kristy Daum
Size: approx 40" by 54"
Fabric: Nicey Jane Prints, Lizzy House Print, white and stash fabrics
Binding: Kona Baby Pink
Quilted: by me with Aurifil 50 wt in white
I just had to make this. Do I need a baby quilt? Nope. It will go into inventory (aka laundry basket filled with quilts awaiting a home). So what makes this a modern disappearing 9 patch? The whole idea is that you replace one of the prints you would typically use in a 9 patch with more of the solid. In this case, white. Then you get this interesting addition of more negative space and we all know that negative space is a big deal in modern quilting. Looks pretty cool. At least, I think so. I was really tempted to bind this little quilt in white to really capitalize on the negative space but I totally chickened out and went with the palest of pinks. I think it is Kona Baby Pink. The quilt is backed with a pink and white Oxford striped flannelette. So pretty. And quilted in a simple grid with Aurifil 50 wt in white. I am very pleased with the fresh simplicity of this quilt.
I had to use my very pretty Kate Spain clothes pins for this one!
And a close up of the back.
Very pretty. Love the greens and pinks together. :-)

ReplyDeleteGosh it turned out pretty! I have this pattern on my to do list also. Where did you get those clothespins!?
ReplyDeleteLove this! I did a similar quilt as a wall hanging with much smaller 9patch blocks, and I love it on my wall. Thinking of making a lap sized version. Thanks for the inspiration and reminder!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty and subtle. I have seen this pattern before and love it.
ReplyDeleteLove the peg! What a clever way to make this quilt design. I thought it was all individually laid out and planned. It's very pretty. Adore the backing!
