Wheee! Finally--a Finish!

Yes, at long last, the Disappearing 9-Patch donation quilt is done. Woot!

I started with a Moda charm pack (don't recall the line, it was fairly old), added some 5" squares from my scrap stash, and then used stash fabrics for the borders and binding. I did have to buy the backing, but found it on a 50% off rack.

I did the binding completely by machine, something I've done a couple of times before and never been happy with the results. I'm somewhat happier with the results on this one, but I still just don't like the look as well as one that's done the traditional way.

This is wheelchair quilt size (roughly something like 36" x 45" or so, don't recall the measurements exactly now). I hope whatever elder gentleman receives it loves it and finds it cozy!

And then, because it's tradition...
