DESIGN WALL MONDAY
This is a disappearing 9-patch quilt. The group finished the top, made of lots of scrap 5 inch squares, and sewn, cut and pressed by many hands at our last quilt day before Christmas. I brought it home, made the binding and finished it with simple quilting. I even completed the binding by machine - not my usual method, but since this will be a baby quilt, and hopefully see many washings, I think it is the most secure way to finish the quilt.
This is the stack of 4 baby quilts that I'll be finishing. The bottom of the stack is a panel, and has racoons on flannel for the backing. The mauve one was shown last week, and the yellow backed quilt has a large star layout. These two quilts were made from donated stash. I've done the "stitch in the ditch" quilting on them all, and tomorrow I hope to get all the free motion quilting complete as well.

Oh My goodness I love that 9-patch, which is just so colorful! I haven't made a disappearing 9-patch before because I kind of thought the pattern was ho-hum, but You really have made it look bright and fun! The pattern has now been added to my list, so thank you for sharing!
