Field play - fall version

It is ready.



The binding is vintage fabric from my grandmother's stash.Yeah, it sounds kind of weird, but yes,  I have stash from my grandmother.


The back is the sweet muslin fabric my darling brought home two weeks ago.




I like very much the way it came out.
Have a nice day!

DNP....

....or, to call it long, Disappearing Nine Patch. I've came across this pattern here. I've fantasized long enough about how it could be, and after couple of trials, it ended up so:



(Oh, the color scheme comes from another baby, which is not ready yet, I'm in the process of making the sunbonnets for it).

Back:




Decorative stitch and binding:



 

I'm especially happy with the back, which is not the usual fabric, but the soft "baby" fabric that is so warm to touch. This is going to be a baptize gift as well, to a little boy this time. I know it's not blue, but why should we always respect the convention???

Oh, I forgot: the pattern is called "Disappearing Nine Patch", because it starts as a nine patch.




Then you cut it in four, straight through the middle, and rearrange it.





 And than you sew them all back together again. Easy! And it offers endless possibilities. It is very likely you will see more of this pattern around here, because I really like it.

I've been working...

...like crazy :), on things I like sooo much.

Sweet Mary it's finished. Ready to be packed and leave to its destination. Here it is:

sewing (I've recently discovered I can use decorative stitch to quilt. Sooo funny!)



aaaand binding.




This quilt was sweet from the first two squares sewn together. It's funny how they tend to get their own way...
