I have had this stack of charms for over a year.
 |
| Recess by American Jane (Moda) |
I have bounced around a couple of ideas but none really took.
My friends at 12 Squared are working on a twisted 9 patch this month....
and I had seen this done before so I decided to pull out the charm packs and go to work.
 |
| lay out your charms in a 9 patch then sew them together |
 |
| Cut through the center squares |
 |
| turn and cut through the center squares in the other direction |
 |
| now, your 9 patch is 4 squares |
 |
| twist them around |
 |
| Sew them together and ta da -- you have a twisted 9 patch. |
not the best picture but hopefully you can see how it looks all put together.
Now, I am going to order some fabric for the backing and binding...
hopefully I can find some of this Recess fabric.
I really like the way it turned out and can't wait to finish the quilting part.

you've been busy! it looks terrific! I love the retro prints.
Did you have any charms left? You could do a scrappy binding. I think Pinwheel has some recess prints.
Pinwheel had some Recess the last time I was there. I bought some myself...but now I'm thinking I need some charm packs:) I LOVE it Connie!
i LOVE this line, connie. i have a charm pack, too. now it think i better get a couple more!
Mom, it's sooo pretty!

I am working on a pinwheel quilt with this line-maybe it will eventually get done!
