\"Full<\/a>
Full top sans borders<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As I mentioned in a previous post<\/a>, back in July, this quilt is all about the fabric. I got down to it over Labor Day weekend and made the top. I still need to add borders, but the top is basically done.<\/p>\n

You can see that the Disappearing 9 patch block means that there is an automatic border on two sides of the quilt. I don’t want a border on two sides of the quilt. I want the border (a border in this case) to be symmetrical, so I added a row of rectangles and squares.<\/p>\n

These blocks actually are quite large. Each square in the block is 6.5″. Once you cut them into quarters they become a manageable size.<\/p>\n

I was consistent about placement of red and black, so that the red would end up as cornerstones and the black would be the sashing. I fiddled around with the arrangement quite a bit, as I am wont to do. I wanted to vary the food prints that were next to each other as well as the location of the blacks.<\/p>\n

This is what you get once you cut a 9 patch block into quarters and rearrange them. In fairness and honesty, the above are quarters from 4 different 9 patches. You would see the same red, if they were from the same 9 patch, but you get the point. Even if this was from the same 9 patch, there would be variety, because of the different blacks and the different focus fabrics.<\/p>\n

Per TFQ’s instructions, I did chunk this quilt<\/a> together. That method of putting together quilts works so much better for me than sewing blocks together in rows. I also find it easier to keep my blocks placed where I want them placed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
