Fast Fun Quilt top

WOW! Making this Disappearing 9-patch quilt top was so fast and fun too. I used lots of novelty fabrics-here are some of my favorites.

I just love this doggy fabric...first prize and a fire hydrant nearby! Also the horse fabric with lucky horse shoes (that's actually in three colorways -don't remember why I was so enchanted!but they are fun here).
Here there's a peak at one of the many chicken fabrics as well as the blackbird (crow?) fabric in the setting triangles and a cute teddy bear and hearts fabric that I just had a little piece of.


Here's a red cardinal fabric too.
I'm planning on quilting this up very soon...as soon as I finish the big quilt I'm working on!
This is lap size...so much easier to work with.

Hey, that's a great way to make a nice looking scrap quilt and use up some of those odd and fun fabrics. Nice job. I have to make some more quilts for the Children's Hospital and I have a lot of weird, fun fabrics. I can use this pattern. I think the kids would love it. :)Bea

Lap quilts are my favorite. This is a fantastic quilt. I can't find the patch. It doesn't look easy so I will believe what you say. The fabrics blend very nicely. Can't wait to see it quilted!

I love this top, so fun to look at all the fabrics in it! I'm gonna try this pattern once. Your BOM looks so cute, I have it prepared to applique too, but haven't found the time to start on it :0)

Wow, this came out great! I have made the disappearing 9 patch a couple of times, but never thought of setting the blocks on point. It really makes the whole thing come to life. And those fabrics are so adorable!
