Here she is!

Well, here she is, presenting Baltippora.  In my previous post I talked about the patterns that paperpanache.com was offering for Fairy Quilt Godmothers.  I really love her and I need to send her picture to the website so she can be added to the many already depicted there.

A while back I ran across a tutorial for a Disappearing 4 patch http://fairholmequilters.blogspot.com/2011/10/disappearing-4-patch.html, and decided to try it.  Below are the blocks I made.   I am going to use them for a Project Linus quilt.  The other fabric will be sashing.  I had lots of these fabrics left over from making one of my DGDs a quilt a few years ago.  I finally am doing something with part of it.  One thing I did different from the tutorial is I made my cuts 1.5 inches instead of 1 inch.

  1. I love your work. I have one of those 'godmother' patterns. maybe I will make it now.
    I think your scenery trumps mine by a mile.

  2. Well now isn't she just a beauty! lol Seriously you did a great job Donna. And I had never heard of the disappearing 4-patch so I'm glad you posted this link. Oh do I have ideas for this one!

  3. Love the self portrait. LOL. And I made the disappearing four patch once although it had another name and each piece was cut out separately and then sewn together. Must try this method.
