I’ve been busy these past couple of weeks working on making a lap quilt out of some charm packs that I received from Hancock’s. My one son is a bird fan so I couldn’t resist buying 3 packs of Moda’s Woodland Holiday by Sentimental Studios when they came on sale.
Seaching for ideas on how to use the charm pack I found the block called Disappearing Nine-Patch. This is an easy block to make as you just sew a nine-patch block together and then cut it apart and rejoin the cut pieces in various ways.
Nine-patch using 5″ Christmas charms.
Patch cut into four.
You can rearrange the blocks into various patterns.
One version of arranged squares.
Square arrangement I chose.
And finally the finished product.
Finished quilt is 51″ x 56″ and used 3 charm packs and has a finished 3″ border.
I’m finding the clothesline outside a handy tool for photographing the finished quilts. The sun wasn’t quite right but you get the picture (argh, argh).
This was a very easy quilt to do and since it was machine quilted quite fast to put together. No tricky sewing or matching of the seams very easy.
