Double Disappearing Nine Patch Runner

I have made a new runner for my dining table.
I love the grey fabrics.
The Kaffe Fassett fabrics in bright colours are my favourites! 




 
 I have quiltet with multi coloured thread, straight lines and various borders.



 
 This is the back of the runner. I can use it this side up too.
 

 
Thanks a lot for all your lovely comments on my bag "Sue".
I'm making a pattern, hopefully for sale one day...



Happy quilting! Have a nice day!

"Sue" - My first bag

Hello,
I normally use patterns made by skilled quilters from around the world, but now I've designed my first bag!
 
Please have a look at "Sue" :)
 
It was great fun making it, and the design came along as I was working...
 
I bought the lovely fabrics
Raspberry Parlour by Sue Daley Design / Riley Blake Designs
at The Norwegian Quilt Festival in September.
 
 
 





 
 
 
 
Thanks for visiting my blog!
I will be glad if you leave a comment :)
 
Happy quilting and have a lovely February!

Grand Illusion!

 - Quiltville's Winter Mystery 2014 -
Bonnie Hunter made the most amazing mystery this year too - read more about in on her blog here.
I have made all the parts, and I'm ready to put all the blocks together and build the quilt! 

This is the Grand Illusion Block. I'll make 25.
Would you like to have a look at the progress and what I did before I came this far?

Lets start. Here are most of the fabrics I chose.

And the fun can begin!

Part 1: Half Square Triangles and Broken Dishes

100 Broken Dishes Units

Part 2: Double Diamonds



100 Double Diamond Units 

Part 3: Two By Four



120 units

Part 4: Broken Dishes
 40 Broken Dishes #2 Units


 40 Broken Dishes #3 Units

Part 5: Four Patches
 25 pink/yellow - Four Patch A

 I spun the seams like this.

4 pink/black/yellow - Four Patch B
and 36 Cornerstones (36 squares from aqua fabrics)

The Finale!

The sashings: Two units from Part 3, sewn end to end.


Ok. I have a job to do! Get the blocks, sashings and cornerstones together, then add the borders... And finally quilting and binding...
I'll  show you more as soon as I have something...

Merry Christmas!

 
 I made the three little "nissegirls" just in time for Christmas, and they are now hanging in my window.
The pattern is by Miak Design Quilt, Anne-Marie Knudsen, from Norway.
 
In my town Lillehammer we have sun, snow and the temperature is 10 degrees Celsius below zero - perfect! We are celebrating with lovely food and sweets on the 24 th of December, and opening the presents after the meal.
I hope you have a good Christmas with family and friends, and thanks a lot for stopping by!
 











 My lovely granddaughter and me :)

 
Happy quilting and love from Liv Aagot :)
