While I was visiting my DS recently I saw one of my older quilts there. I don't know about you, but once a quilt leaves my house, I forget about it. And when I meet it again it's a bit of a shock. I think:
1) That looks quite nice
2) How did I do that again?
The quilt I'm talking about was made in 2010, and I didn't take any pics of it. So I put that right.
This quilt is made from D9P blocks. I took a class, I knew nothing about it at all. The teacher advised me with the neutral coloured fabric, good advice I think!
The backing is a Mount Fuji print for my tree and mountain loving DS. I called the quilt Mountains of the Moon.
I FMQd it with a scrolly design using a stencil and chalk. Altogether a great learning experience.
Fast forward to this year. I made a little boy quilt featuring fussy cut truck fabrics, and the parents and I liked the D9P layout here:
I blogged about it here.
Then I read Kristy Daum's blog and tutorial on her Modernized D9P, and I made two baby quilts using her method as a guide. I wanted more low volume, so I added a number of 9 patches that were all neutrals, and no bright print at all. Here they are :
So there you have it. Four different looking quilts, all using the same block. I'm sure there will be more sometime.
Till next time,
Sue
