Red and Aqua Swap Quilt

Way back in the summer of '09, I participated with 100 other people in a Red and Aqua disappearing nine patch swap. I am thrilled to have this out of my wip pile. And I love how it turned out. 

I wasnt in love with all the different fabrics that were chosen, most I would never had bought myself. But, they all seem to work together quite nice. 

While searching the internet for inspiration on how to quilt this quilt, 

I came across this Adorable nine patch quilt. 

I Looooved the quilt, and LOOOVED the way it was quilted. 

I love finding quilt inspiration online. (Thank You Jen)

This is my first time using a sheet as the backing fabric.

 I picked this adorable teal sheet up at Target a few weeks ago.

A perfect match for the quilt.  

Nine Patch Blocks and Something Sweet

Here are all my nine patch blocks from the swap.

Thanks Elizabeth, Tiffany, Carol, and Cheryl!

and a BIG thanks to all of you who voted for my fall quilt!

Some wonderful voters,

A finished quilt for me,

and a free charm pack!

Have a great weekend.

Red and Aqua

I finished my disappearing nine patch blocks... 100 of them! There are a bunch that are my favorite...
Each of these is going to be going to a good home...
Hopefully a home where they are adored just as much as I adore them.

I layed out all my blocks on a white sheet,

to see what they would look like as a quilt (with sashing).

sooo cute!.

I cant wait to get everyone else's blocks, and make this cute quilt.

I Heart Fabric

I went to two different quilt shops to collect these beauties. They simply make me happy. I'm going to cut them up for the disappearing nine patch aqua and red swap. I am super excited about this swap. And soon enough I will have my own aqua and red quilt! love it.

There are still a few more spots available if you want to join in.
