loved my nine patch and novelty print fabric combined in same quilt .. wonderful experience.. used the strip method. Turned out fantastic and lots of compliments.

The nine patch is the first block I made. I made some black and white ones out of flannel and paired them up with some solid red flannel blocks.

my very first 9P was all done by cutting the squares and sewing by hand together..that was in the 70's! I so enjoy strip cutting and piecing them now!

A simple 9 patch wall hanging was the very first quilting project I made six years ago. Since that time, I've made many other wall hangings, but that's the one that I still display. Sometimes I look at it, and it gives me a happy feeling. Other times, it's a reminder of how much I've progressed with my quilts.

Even after we had a small fire in our home, I had the wall hanging professionally cleaned and put it right back up on the wall.

I started making hand cut squares to 9-patches, then fence rails, then I quit for 20 years and my first rotary quilt was a bargello flag.

my first quilting project was a table runner using the rail fence.
Next, a doll quilt using the 9 patch.
Next, another doll quilt using the checkerboard technique.
Next, the disappearing 9 patch!!!

I've only been quilting 2 1/2 years but those first projects were great for perfecting my 1/4 inch seam, matching seams, and learning machine quilting.

the 9 patch has not disappeared!!!
