Disappearing Nine-Patch
Jun 27th
I had a big stack of charm squares from a discontinued line from Connecting Threads sitting in my sewing box, leftover from an abandoned project that just didn’t work with the busy fabric, and today I decided to do something with them. Not knowing what else to do with a bunch of charm squares, I decided to try my hand at a disappearing nine-patch pattern, which worked up very quickly this afternoon.
I’m very pleased with the way it turned out, and it’s bigger than I expected– somewhere in the neighborhood of 40″ x 50″. The color scheme probably excludes it from being a baby quilt, but it makes a nice small lap quilt, and hopefully I’ll be able to find it a home where it’s appreciated.

I finally got brave and listed two quilts on Etsy today.
I was worried that the quality isn’t good enough to sell, but overall I like the pieces well enough that someone else should appreciate them. I need to remind myself that I do good work, and that other people tend to really like my quilts, so hopefully my little shop will be successful.
I have absolutely NO idea how to price things and wouldn’t be surprised if I’ve gone a little too far off the low end… I guess we’ll wait and see what happens.
