Named for the rocket ship focus fabric,
it's combined with other fabrics that have stars. And what's more fitting than a star panto in royal Glide thread for the quilting?
What started out as 5" squares for these 9-patch blocks,
turned into these 13 1/4" disappearing 9-Patch blocks.
Final quilt size is 38 1/2" square - a great baby quilt size! It's a wonderful, dependable quilt pattern, especially for a quick quilt. Check out the Disappearing 9-patch tutorial, or the Double Disappearing 9-patch tutorial for instructions on making one.
As for the back of this quilt, it's a multi-colored polka dot print,
That's what's called a 'creative solution' when there's not enough fabric to bind the whole quilt!
As for the second quilt, it's going to be from these scraps that were with the small amount of that cute duck fabric,
found in a separate bag with the aqua scraps. Only have the aqua pinwheels for the Stash Lab project left to go, then I'll declare aqua a finish. Phew!
Have a wonderful weekend quilting!
It's those creative solutions that sometimes bring about the best surprise results :) I hope hubby gives you a big hug because you really came through with this quilt. Absolutely prefect for a lucky little boy.
