1st Project of this year

OK

I'm slow,

like really slow

Compared to others, who are well on their way to completing their third, even fourth project

I am way behind.

But, I am me

So, here is a quilt project that I cut out and started before the New Year rang in.

I knew that the couple/young lady was decorating with browns, maroon, tans, etc.

I chose most of the above fabrics to use.

This is called a "disappearing nine" pattern.

You cut squares, join them in a nine patch, then cut those squares

 into quarters.

I joined them randomly and this is the finished quilt.

 It is about 41" square. I have liked making these smaller lap sized quilts.

They are easy to manage under the machine and quicker.

Mr really likes the colors on this one and so do I.

The back after being washed and dried looks so comfy and crinkly.

 I did some random or meandering quilting.

Hidden words in the quilting. SHH!

I just had to play around with the settings on the camera

I will be sending it along with a friend when she visits in a few weeks.

Hopefully the young couple will forgive me for being late on their wedding gift.

Now, onto some other quilt projects.

I want to try a zig-zag pattern for a gift to a friend. (it is mostly cut)

I have several friends who are having babies in the next few months, like 6 or 7!

I want to make myself a quilt sometime, but I can wait.
