Disappearing 9 Patch: Take 2

 I know: DeJaVu all over again.
 You see, I actually made Two of these disappearing 9 patch quilts.  They are different, I promise. It is not a trick of photo editing.
 They each have a different binding.
 The first was quilting with wavy lines, and this one was quilting with (relatively) straight lines.
 Same backing for each, though.

 See? Two separate quilts.
 This makes for another finish for the Finish A Long.  Original list *here*

  The facts:
46" x 63"
Fabrics: All kinds from my stash
Batting: A thin poly from Joann
Thread: Coats and Clark Cotton in White

I will be donating this one to Operation Snuggles - quilts for children whose parents are in the military and being deployed.

Dissapearing 9 Patch: Take 1

Yay! A finish for this Friday.
 A snuggle sized Disappearing 9 Patch.

It started as a challenge of sorts from my Guild-as many members as wanted could put together a disappearing 9 patch and we'd share them in July.
 I had a top all put together by the end of February.
 I took apart a seam to make two quilts and then they sat for many months.  It didn't seem so pressing since baby girl was due in July and I knew I wouldn't be able to share my quilts at guild.  I finally got them basted in September and took them with me up north to quilt.  Wednesday I got the binding on.  Yesterday washed and photographed (on a cloudy windy day) and the first one blogged today.
 This one is quilted with wavy lines along the seams.
 The back is a home dec weight cotton.

 The facts:
46" x 63"
Fabrics: All kinds from my stash
Batting: A thin poly from Joann
Thread: Coats and Clark Cotton in White

I will be donating this one to Operation Snuggles - quilts for children whose parents are in the military and being deployed.

Linking with Crazy Mom Quilts

This is also a finish for the Finish A Long! Original List *here*

Top(s) finished

Its time that I start getting some backings prepped, baste, and start quilting.
I've got 7 tops ready to go, in a pile.

2 Fairy Quilts
2 Ugly Quilts
1 Cat Quilt
2 Baby Quilts

 I finished the Crazy Cat Quilt Top over the weekend.
Yep, its a bit crazy.  :)
It will be the perfect couch snuggling size when its all done.

I also got the 9-patch part of the blocks done for the disappearing 9-patch quilt along our guild is doing.
 Now I have to cut them up again and piece the top.  I am way ahead of schedule, since we're not sharing until July - although I highly doubt I'll be at the July meeting.

I will probably end up making two of these, since I still have a pile of squares to piece, but in a different configuration.
I started with 6" squares, so those top 9-patches are 17.5" square at the moment.  24 of them.  Should be a good size quilt.  And the flowers and stripes in the corners?  Vintage fabric.  Probably not even 100% cotton.  But fun, nonetheless.
