Well, my sister-in-law recently graduated from high school in May and recieved an adorable quilt. I got to looking at it and realized the pattern was the dissapearing 9 patch. They had just used denim for one of the fabrics. Needless to say her older sister saw the quilt and fell in love as well. She asked me to make her one and quickly gathered up a bunch of old jeans her hubby and boys had worn through, and brought to me to cut up. She just wanted something "simple" and something to use for a picnic/baseball game quilt. This is what we came up with. I'm honestly not even sure what the final diminsions came out to be. We just made it until we ran out of denim. It was kind of fun for my first 9 patch, and I have to thank my wonderful Grandmother for helping me tie it off!
(please excuse my messy home....I had to snap a quick pic before I gave it away and it was been a jam-packed few days of sewing to complete the quilt. sadly, my home went a bit neglected for a bit)
I love this quilt!
