A Closeup ~

 

and the Back ~

 

I have been wanting to Piece a Quilt Top using the Disappearing 9 Patch Pattern.  I have several Shangri La Charm Packs in My Shoppe, so I used them.  (I do have more Charm Packs available if anyone is interested - just email me) 

I used 6" Muslin Sashing Strips around the Blocks, a 2" Inside Border out of Coordinating Fabric, and a 6" Muslin Outside Border.  Solid Muslin Fabric was used on the Back.

I thought it would be really Old Fashioned Looking.

Now for the Binding!

I will hopefully be able to Show you the Completed Quilt SOON!

~ CREEKSIDE TRAIL FLANNEL FABRIC by Holly Taylor ~

Things have been really BUSY around here!

Lori and I have been working like Crazy on Customer Quilts and Orders trying to get everything completed before Christmas!

I have not Posted anything on my Blog for several days.

I have been putting in long hours, "IN THE ATTIC"!

HOWEVER,

Lori has a Birthday coming up November 30, and she has decided that she wants to make a King Size Quilt for their bed.

She has selected the "Creekside Trail" Flannels by Holly Taylor.

 

This Fabric is Absolutely Beautiful!

There are 33 different Prints in the Fat Quarter Bundle.

I am Selling the Bundles for $74.99 each, on my Website ~ www.donnasintheattic.com.

Lori and her family have Built a Beautiful Log Home.  This Quilt will be a Perfect addition.

I will try to  give you updates on the Progress of her Quilt.

Here are a few of the Prints in the Collection ~

LONG ARM QUILT PATTERN - Curly Q ~

Just wanted to show you this Beautiful Pattern called

"Curly Q" ~

 

I had to do Some Work on my Long Arm Machine.

I pinned Muslin Fabric on, front and back, and Quilted it to make sure everything was working OK.

Isn't it a BEAUTIFUL Pattern!

 The Pattern Designer is Lisa Calle.

(Any ideas on what to do with this Quilted Piece?)

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

DISAPPEARING 9 PATCH QUILT ~

I have been so Anxious to Piece a

 

"Disappearing 9 Patch" Quilt!

 

Dee Locke, a Good Friend of Mine, brought a Quilt Top by to show me, and I fell in Love with it.

 

Here is what 1 Block looks like ~

 

 

It is a Standard 9 Patch Block, Cut in Half Vertically and Horizontally, Pieces turned in different Directions, and then Sewn back together.

 

I have some "Shangri La" Charm Packs that have not Sold,

so I decided to make my Blocks using that Fabric.

 

Here is one of my Blocks ~

 

 

the Sashing ~

 

 

The Borders and Corner Stones ~

 

 

and, . . . half of the Quilt ~

 

 

I am not all that Crazy about the Fabric,

 

But, . . .

 

I am Hoping it will look Much Better after it is Quilted!

 

HAVE A GREAT DAY!
