Hi I'm Mia from California

[Mia]

]Hello everyone.....

My name is Mia and I live in central California. I've been sewing for years but recently became interested in quilting. I cannot find quilting classes close to home and I'm so excited to see the MSQC's tutorials. Jenny is an awesome instructor. Yesterday as I was watching her tutorials I found one that I loved but this morning I cannot locate it. I thought the name was something like " Disappearing Nine Patch", but that's not working in a search. Can anyone help, please?

Hi Mia! I'll welcome you to the forum - wish I could help locate the Disappearing Nine Patch - looked but couldn't find it either and I know it's there somewhere. I think she calls it something else. I am making 2 table runners now using that technique. I made one with 3" squares and one with 6" squares. You turn them into a nine patch and then cut through the middle vertically and hortizonally - sew them the way you want your blocks to lay out and you have a quilt top. I just played with the fabrics so really don't have any exact amounts of how much fabric you should start with and maybe her tutorial has a precise measurement for the size blocks you should use - am hoping someone on here can point you in the right direction for those two things you really should have if you are a beginner quilter. If you don't get an answer, maybe you could google directions for it and someone on a blog might have it out there.

Again, welcome!

Hugs from Central PA,

That is so strange - I just saw this tutorial last week! I checked through everything too. The directions from quilting trish should help.

Good job coming through with the link, izzymomma! Mia, that tutorial will lead you through and show you how easy the disappearing nine patch is. I love it!

Welcome to the forum! I grew up in Central California in a tiny town called Oroville in Butte County.

Re: Hi I'm Mia from California

Thank you all so much for the lovely welcome and for the link to the tutorial ..... what a great group you are. Well I watched the tut three times and made four blocks... Three were great and ones is not so great. But I'm working on it again today ....... I'm feeling very lucky to have found you all.
