In July, 2011, Cher gifted the FAB friends this panel and a sampling of the companion fabrics, from Wisconsin to Alabama to Oregon (x2!) to British Columbia, Canada we stretch.Saturday was *our* day to meet online to chat and sew! it is very rare that all five of us are in one place at any given time to chat~what fun we had. :) Each also sewed as long as she was able. I had to leave the sew-in early to pick up DD from her sleepover.
I didn't have a plan where I was heading with this quilt except that I wanted to have 9 patches as an alternate block. I simply *let it happen*.
I am not a pattern designer and now I know *why*! I have a new respect and admiration for all you pattern designers out in blogland~well done, my friends!
Well done on designing patterns! :)

You did a great job!! Gives me an idea of what to do with some of my panels I have! Thanks for sharing.
Looking good, Pat!
I like my EQ when I need to design a quilt because it lets me see my mistakes and correct them before I cut into the fabric. But without that tool, you did a good job using a challenging fabric panel! and you learned from the process what you would do differently next time. You were creative and learned something in the process: Good job!
Now I wish I had done something a lot smaller like you did. It looks fine. I like the frame of squares around the outside part mixed in with the sky blue you used.
I wish that had made a blue bubble fabric like the stuff that frames the panel as all this stripe in the 3 colors ways is not how I usually work. A mix of fabrics, not all from the same designer would have been preferable BUT...........
IIWII, just as you said. There are things we would change if we could.
Looks great, I dont' think you lose the 9's in the blue. I really like it and think you did a very creative quilt with the panel and the fabrics. Very nice.
