What Do You Think?

 I've seen this quilting pattern referred to as "Popcorn" or "Clouds".

 This was my very first attempt at this pattern.  Luckily, Miranda left this little quilt for me to do so I  had something to experiment on.

 My girls are pretty good at letting me practice new patterns on their quilts.

 So, what do you think?

Should I call it "Popcorn" or "Clouds"?

For Tennyson!

 Well, the Verna disappearing nine patch is complete.

 I used the light green and white print from the collection for the back and a stripe for the binding.

 I quilted it in an all over stipple  pattern.  This quilt measures 65 X 78 so it will fit on Tennyson's twin size bed.  She's not very happy about downgrading in size but most college freshman don't get to take their queen size beds with them when they leave home. 

I hope this beautiful quilt will take away some of her disgruntlement and when she snuggles under this quilt at night it will help her to remember how much her Mom and Dad love her.

Verna Disappearing Nine Patch

 Here it is.  All put together.

I love the scrappy look from all of these fabrics in the Verna Collection.

Disappearing Nine Patch!

 I started with six or seven Verna Charm Packs.  I arranged the 5 inch squares into 9 patches and sewed them together row by row.  I ended up with 30 of these blocks.

 I pressed the seams of the outside rows out and the middle row in so the seams would notch together.

 The nine patch is a 14 inch block so I cut it in half at 7 inches.

 I turned it and cut again at 7 inches.  This is the disappearing nine patch block. 

 Because I started out with 30 nine patch blocks, I now have 120 seven inch blocks.

I plan for this quilt to be 10 blocks across and 12 blocks down.  It should end up a twin size.

To lay out your quilt you put 4 of the patches together like this.  Arrange them so no seams are meeting.  It should look something like this.  I'll post more pictures when I have it all put together.
