"Hostage Situation" quilt finish - Installment 8

6 years ago

I have had this top pieced since the Wandering Stitchers met at Camp Cheerio - quite a while back! Pulled it out and sandwiched it and got it quilted and bound yesterday. It's an interesting pattern in that you make large 9-patch squares, then cut them and rearrange. Each 9-patch ends up making 2 squares if I recall the directions correctly! I might have to hunt them up ... (or not!) Anyway, it made a twin size 66 x 78 quilt and made the pillow case to go with it. It will be donated to either our homelessness prevention group supported by our church or the women's safehouse.

    Now I don't feel so bad about these old tops I am quilting. LOL I remember that one. Great quilt and a good size too.

    Nice job and a very generous gift to someone in need.

    Sue, that's a really pretty quilt. I love the color combo. And the pillowcase makes it such a lovely set. Very nice work.

    Very pretty and very interesting. I've done a lot of D9P, but none looked like that.

    Love it, I remember doing that pattern at camp. I have my practice piece somewhere, may have to look it up.

    Is there a name or site so I can find the pattern?

  • 6 years ago

    I like that one, looks pretty simple, too. Oh my, so many choices.

    I don't have a web-site for the pattern - I had to go back and dig through my files, but I have printed copies I could send to you. One of the women in my nighborhood quilt group found a picture years ago and not sure what the website was. ANYWAY she calculated sizes (she's a retired engineer & math teacher!) and said it was a 9-Patch transformation. I scanned the instructions and hope this works for posting it. If you have trouble reading it, I can mail a copy to you.

    This is the quit of valor my group made. (before borders) We cut and pieced on a Saturday.

    I remember seeing that picture somewhere or one very similar. I was impressed then and still am. I have never made a D9P. There goes another one into the file. LOL!

    I think this may be it. 9 Patch Variation

    Sue, I can make the picture bigger, but can't print it. Could you pop it in the mail? I sent you an email with my address. Thanks.

    Jackie, I think that is it.

    Jackie - I think that is it! How in the world were you ever able to find that? You have more patience than me ... or I was just too busy doing yardwork!!!


    Bev, I am mailing a copy, but that link looks pretty similar.

    April 12, 2012 is when Sue posted about this QOV. The picture is gone but the discussion is there. I knew I had seen this before and couldn’t rest till I searched it out. Now to get back to sleep.

    Thank you, Sue!

  • 6 years ago

    Thanks, Sue. Now I have to decide if the next quilt to start from scratch will be this one or the pineapple.

  • 6 years ago

    That is such a happy quilt. Nice work Sue.

    I received the pattern, thanks Sue. My elderly friend wants to pass some fabric to me, so I'll take this pattern when I go and maybe I can come up with something nice.

    The quilt looks fairly complex, but after looking at the instructions, it seems like it would go together pretty quickly and easily. I think I'll add this one to my "to do" list. Thanks, Sue!
