I love disappearing 9 patch quilts - they are so quick to sew up, and the different ways you can arrange the 9 patches are endless. This time I tried for a much less random pattern, you can see some of the options I tried out. In the end Miss M chose the star one rather than the straight lines, it is for her bed after all as she pointed out to me :)
I have still to sew on a border (or two) and then I'm going to hand quilt it as usual, it takes ages but I do like the look that hand quilting gives a quilt.
I like the colours together, they are not at all girly but then neither is my girl :) At night she cuddles up to 3 fire breathing dragons, one dinosaur, a cow and a pig; most of her games involve dragons and volcanoes erupting and her little brother being eaten by lions. I did get invited to a my little pony party last week but that ended abruptly when dragons gatecrashed and carnage ensued *sigh*.

Wow, Louise, that came out great! I'm impressed. You use colour so well. (that's envy talking lol!)
I like your daughter's choice too!
What a great design!
Can't wait to see it with borders on.
would like to see it when it is done, looks great
This is the greatest way to use up fabrics - doesn't matter how you arrange the blocks it looks fantastic. Well done.
Oh yes! I see it in there! The quilt looks great! I must say, your daughter sounds divine. It gives me hope that my own may not be completely into pink princesses, as I never was as a child. Of course, now that I have put that into writing....
