Disappearing 9 patch for Emolyn

Hello!!! Is anyone out there??? I can hear crickets chirping here on our blog. ;)

Here are my disappearing 9 patch squares for Emolyn...

I finished a few things in the last few months...

I did a swoon friendship swap with friends here in Logan and gave it to my daughter, Vivian, for her birthday. I love it!

My Christmas houndstooth quilt - thanks everyone! I love how it turned out.

My husband asked for a quilt for Christmas. So I made a Sasquatch quilt for him since he's on the hairy side. :)

Happy Spring everyone! Let's see your projects!

cock your head for this one

It was upright when I uploaded it!
Emily- I loved this.  Everything you touch turns to gold and I enjoyed this pattern.  I need a new project to work on so I might just be a copy cat AGAIN and start one for myself.  Maybe even the same fabrics.  Because I don't fall in love with my projects as much as I do yours. :)

Christmas Houndstooth for August

Let's just keep this Christmas theme going, shall we? 

I've always loved this Houndstooth quilt design:

I found some great Christmas charm squares (Juniper Berry by Moda) and I'm so excited to make my first holiday quilt! 

 You'll get fabric in the mail: 8 print charms and 8 solid charms. Draw a diagonal line on half of the white charm squares.

Create two half-square-triangles by sewing 1/4" seams on either side of the diagonal line and trimming on the line.

Press seam OPEN (I found this to result in a straighter seam).

TRIM ALL SQUARES (HSTs, one print, and one solid) to 4.5" & arrange as shown:

Sew together. Repeat 3 more times to make 4 squares.

*If you have a directional print, place your diagonal line as follows in order to keep the print going in the same direction!

Thanks! Maybe the weather will cool off soon if we keep making Christmas projects. *fingers crossed*
