Well, I soldiered through and got the Disappearing Nine Patch blocks made into a quilt top. I got the idea for the quilt from this blog post.
Last Monday, I had most of the blocks on the wall and I wasn't too thrilled with it.
I left it for a few days and came back and started to move things around to group the neutral into something resembling diagonal rows.
A few more adjustments and I sewed the center together and then dug through my fabrics for border options. I was sure that I had enough for the light pink as a border and the dark pink for binding and possibly an inner border. After posting on my FB page and Instagram (@darlingjillquilts), it was almost unanimous to use an inner border.
I sewed and sewed and sewed while watching figure skating...
And now have a finished top and binding!
And now I have to move on to the next quilt. :)

sometimes its hard to make the blocks play nicely together. you got them in line and the pinks are perfect!
I love the finished top. It turned out great!
Love it, I'm such a sucker for pink!
So pretty! And amazing how that inner border pops the pink!
It is amazing what a narrow inner border adds! I often find, as you did that it is the difference between an ok quilt and a great quilt.
Love how it turned out, well done xx
I really like it. Well done!
Amazing what an inner border will do. Looks great.
It looks good - do you have plans for it?
Jill that really came together
