For the last couple of months, I've been working on putting together some charity quilts that I can use to start developing my free motion longarm quilting skills. I chose the Ronald McDonald House as a place to donate to as they request quilts that are approximately 40" x 40" - which seems like a very good practice size.
Disappearing Nine Patch
When I found a picture of this quilt on pinterest, I didn't realize it was a Disappearing Nine Patch, so I cut all the pieces for the blocks their final size, instead of making a nine patch and cutting it in quarters. I designed the quilt to have 12 inch blocks (finished size) with 1 inch sashings/borders. There were three rows of blocks, with three blocks per row. Final size is 40" x 40". I'm going to make two of these quilts; one to practice the loops and hearts quilting motif and one to practice the loops and stars quilting motif.
