Early in 2011, William asked me where his annual quilt was. I had no idea he expected an annual quilt. I suggested a food quilt and he agreed. I kind of wanted to work with some bold fabrics and thought of the Farmer\u2019s Market fabrics by RJR.<\/p>\n<p>I started buying fat quarters of the fabrics when I saw them. I realized quickly that I needed to keep track of which fabrics from the Farmer\u2019s Market group so I could make sure I had a wide variety of the fabrics.<\/p>\n<p>During a trip back East I shopped at some Amish quilt shops. They had a wide variety of the fabrics \u2013 more than I had ever seen before. I wasn\u2019t always able to purchase just fat quarters, so I bought half yards, which was much too much.<\/p>\n<p>I still didn&#8217;t know what to do with these fabrics in terms of pattern. I had seen a friend, Robin, make a Disappearing Nine Patch. Thus, I had also had that pattern on my mind. There was something about that pattern that intrigued me. There was something about simple piecing combined with cutting up a simple pattern and recombining it. I don\u2019t know what it is, but I really like the pattern. I like the possibilities. I thought the pattern has the ability to showcase conversational fabrics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Materials 100% cotton fabric 100% cotton thread Techniques Machine pieced Machine quilted &nbsp; Details: Year: 2012 Size: ?\u201dx?\u201d Fabric: various Quilted By: Colleen Granger &nbsp; Details This is the first Food Quilt that I made.
