This fabric was really pretty, but not really me. I thought it needed the darker fabric on the front for a bit of contrast. It measures 38in. by 43in. and will go to 'Quilts from the Heart at our Guild' and will probably be donated to a Women's Shelter.Because I had cut out the damaged parts of the backing fabric and used some of it on the front, I did not have enough for the back of the quilt. So I pieced a few of the left over 4.25in. units from the front, plus a few more from fabrics in my stash, and sewed them into the backing to make it big enough.
I enjoyed making this quilt. I love the Disappearing Nine-Patch! It was easy, with just enough of a challenge to make everything fit. And as you can see, Mimi loves it too!"Meow! Just passing through. You want your quilt inspected, don't you?"
"Yeah! Sure! Thanks Mimi."

I think the darker fabric is a good addition to the top. the back is more interesting that way too, but more work.
You’ve made it to blogtoberfest day 8!!! Hurray!
Love your disap. 9-patch and you’re right for adding some darker fabrics to the front.
I think your colour combinations are great, Lis
Well this is adorable and I love how you worked with what you had on hand. You're talented enough to do stuff like that. Me? I just get frustrated and give up and walk away. But not even Mimi will do that. She's such a good inspector. I love her little kitty-self! :)
Sweet Mimi. What would she do if there would be no more quilts to be inspected. Keep it up making your beautiful designs.
