That's the unofficial title of this quilt. The official title is "Swimming in Circles." To the right are the three main fabrics. There's also a mottled dark teal I used for the inner border. This is another
Disappearing Nine-Patch pattern. I was going through my fabric
s and found a few that wanted to be used. This poppy-red fabric screamed to be let out. Then the circles (which I purchsed in Columbus) wanted to play, too. The fish fabric has been sitting out, catching my eye for so long. Since both had the poppy color, how could I say no? When I was done, there was enough yardage left in the poppy to make the back. Stashbuster Alert! I used up all of these fabrics for this quilt--a total of five yards. I also dug into the scrap bin to put some stuff together for the back. If I finish that, I'll show ya!Step by Step

Thanks for sharing the step by step photos for the Disappearing Nine-Patch! I need to make one!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Those fabrics are perfect together. I haven't really got an 'eye' for what goes together fabric-wise yet......but I'm working on it ;)
ReplyDeleteI have a good eye for colour in most other stuff (modest? Moi?) but with fabrics I can't really see the tones or the shades properly yet to make good matches.
I keep following the cool quilty ladies blogs though, *wink*, and hopefully some of their 'eye's' will rub off onto me....
Ewwww, that sounds graphic. But you see where I'm going with it....
