Patchwork Sampler

Make quilts. Use fabric. Have fun.

Fat Quarter Baby Quilts

Today I finished the second fat quarter baby quilt.  I had six fat quarters for each quilt and my original plan was to add some white background fabric and make a Disappearing 4 Patch from one set and a Disappearing 9 Patch from the other.  Today is really windy with snow flurries so I finally gave up on taking pictures outside and just snapped a couple in the house.  The color isn’t that great but it will do!

Here’s the finished D4P (the green is really more lime than kelly).

I quilted it in an overall design.

This quilt started out as a Disappearing Nine Patch.  I’ve made a couple of these already where I just randomly placed the fabric when making the nine patch.  For this quilt I wanted the blues to chain in one direction and the green/yellow to chain opposite with the red in each corner.  I make one Disappearing Nine Patch block then decided it was easier to just cut the pieces and piece it block by block.  It was much faster and probably more accurate.  I only used five of the six fat quarters for this quilt and it turned out 51” x 63”.

This one was quilted in overall swirls.

These were fun and easy quilts to make.  Both are donation quilts.

Be sure to come back on Monday.  I’ll have a fun giveaway!
