100th Post Give-Away
Today's post is a milestone for me and Lollyquiltz...........number 100! I've enjoyed the last nine months of blogging tremendously and have made some very nice invisible friends....some have even become real flesh and blood quilting friends! To celebrate, I've got a Fat Quarter Fabric Pack, donated by OldCountryStoreFabrics.com , to give away.
I used a Fat Quarter Pack just like this to make this Disappearlng Nine Patch quilt top. The Pack contains eight fat quarters of Moda's Happy, by Me and My Sister Designs. I added 1/3 yard of black and white polka dots as the 9th fabric in the nine patch blocks. (It was the center square, in case you are interested....why didn't I take a picture before I cut it up?!)
For a chance to win the Happy Fat Quarter Fabric Pack, leave a comment telling me if you have made a disappearing nine patch quilt. Become a follower (and tell me in a separate comment) for a second chance to win. The winner will be chosen on Monday, December 13. Be sure that your email address is listed on your profile so that I can contact you if you win. Happy # 100!!

I have made a nine patch quilt. It was a baby quilt and also had a polkadot. I didn't really understand the concept of the nine patchfor that one. I made another later for a baby girl that turned out much better.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 100th post, Keep going!! Yes I have made DP9 and loved it. It is a great pattern for charm squares. I am already a follower.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your 100th! I have not made a disappearing nine patch before, but would certainly love to try on with this fabric! I am a follower already too.
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt but I love the colors best. I have made the disappearing nine patch many times.
ReplyDeleteDisappearing nine patch is on my 2010 project list. Love your selection of fabric. I am already a follower. Thanks for the link to Oldcountrystorefabrics.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower !
ReplyDeletelove making them with every block in the 9 patch out of different fabrics - fast and fun
ReplyDeleteI haven't made one---yet. congrats on 100 and I hope you're back for hundreds more posts. thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI'm also a follower, so I'm putting in my second entry. thanks!
ReplyDeleteAh, you're a centenarian in blogland, eh? Congratulations and please keep up your inspiring work. I have not made one yet, but this fat quarter bundle would be just the nudge I need to give it a shot.
ReplyDeleteYep, I'm still following you. (Sounds rather like a stalker, doesn't it?)
ReplyDeleteI made a disappearing nine patch baby quilt earlier this year from Moda's "Love U" line. It was auctioned at one of my SIL's charity organizations. Such an easy pattern and the results are just beautiful. I like to make this pattern with all the centers of the nine-patches the same... it lends a little continuity to what could become a little crazy :)
ReplyDeleteLove yours with the polka dots - who doesn't love polka dots??
ive never made a disappearing 9 patch although ive made a number of blocks for different bees. i love how it all gets so mixed up! i saw a tutorial adding pieced blocks within the 9 patch...really mixes it up!
ReplyDeletei follow your blog in my reader

ReplyDeleteHappy 100th! (Aren't you glad that's not YEARS!?) I'm proud to count you among my "flesh and blood quilting friends" thanks to our blogs. It has been a wonderful blessing to get to know you.

I think I like yours better. What an adorable quilt. Guess I'm a sucker for all things girl-y. Woe to me.
yes. I've made a D9P and was thinking of beginning another soon!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. I always enjoy coming over to your "place".

ReplyDeleteI've made a disappearing nine-patch out of aqua and red. Still needs to be sewn together.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower as of this morning, although last night I had already added you to my blogroll. :)

ReplyDeleteI just finished the blocks for a disappearing 9 patch baby quilt. I have one row sewed together.
ReplyDeleteI am already a follower. I love your quilt top, by the way.
ReplyDeleteFor some dumb reason, I've never done one-but I definitely will soon. Love the black squares-really makes the whole top come alive!
ReplyDeleteI'm already a follower
ReplyDeleteI've never made a 9-patch quilt, but would love to try. It seems so easy. I was hoping to make a 9-patch table runner for Christmas for my sister-in-law, maybe I'll still be able to finish that.
ReplyDeleteI have not done a disappearing 9- patch yet, but if I'd happen to be a winner, I would make one right away :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the posts that enlight my days§
Wow!! Good going, my friend. 100 Posts!! I have not made a disappearing 9-patch, and I'm not even trying to win; just wanted to say,"Good job!" I've given up keeping up w/you. (tee-hee!) I am currently working on Christmas bibs for Iris and small doll/cuddling quilts for my 3 girls. I'm using your pattern from the quilt you made for the auction. Love you!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Carla. We started about the same time. I have made several DNP- we love that pattern to use for our community quilts - making Miagia's!! So glad our paths crossed.
ReplyDeleteI've been a follower for a long time and so glad I am!! I hope we meet in person some day.
ReplyDeleteMy Project Plume runner was in a Disappearing 9 Patch and it was fun!

ReplyDeleteWay to go!! Your blog is so fun to read. I made a disappearing nine patch Christmas table cloth. When guests sit and eat on the table cloth they sign the back!! So fun. I am blogging about it tomorrow after a busy day today of Bible Study and Bank Christmas Party!! Oh, I tutor in there somewhere too. Check the blog on Friday!!
