A good friend of mine is due to have a baby in December. She has two girls already, and this is her third. The day she found out that she was going to be having a boy, I just knew I had to make her quilt/play mat for her litle man! Popped over to Spotlight, and hey presto - two matching bundles of fun material that were perfect for a little boy.
 |
| 5 darker/busier prints |

| 4 lighter/plainer prints |
I decided to once again do
a Disappearing Nine Patch - simple, easy and effective pattern! My original plan was to have the 5 darker/busier prints on the X of the nine patch block, but I decided on this layout instead:
So far, I have sewn all the nine patch blocks together. Next is to cut them in quarters, arrange, and sew them together. Then work out what I want to do with the binding and backing...

Hello, I've come from Lily's. I look forward to reading your blog. The disappearing 9 patch block is one of my favourites. Do post a piccie of your finished quilt.
Lily sent me. Nice prints for a babe. I look forward to seeing the blocks sewn together.
I love disappearing nine patches. That was my 1st quilt when I rediscovered quilting.
I'm from Lily's! I need to try the disappearing nine patch!
Popping over from Lily's, too. The Disappearing Nine Patch is great, isn't it? Natalie at Greenleaf Goods just posted a beautiful one she made. Your fabrics will be great for a little boy!
I'm visiting from the small blog meet, too. So glad I popped over, I LOVE the quilt you're doing here! Fun summer colors <3 Can't wait to see how it progresses!
