Disappearing “Flowers’ Table Runner

 

I’ve been wanting to try the disappearing nine patch and I’ve got Quiltecke’s  ‘Flowers’ stitcheries that I was planning to use for a table runner and placemats. So…..

.. I came up with this!

It’s a table runner alright but the nine patch doesn’t look too disappearing . Where did I go wrong? Is it the fabric choice? I used five different fabrics. How  many should it be?

As usual, I did straight line quilting. Thought I try some random lines and boxes as I stitch along. I think I like it!

I used only four of the ‘Flowers’ stitcheries. Saving the rest for the placemats.

Tomorrow seem like a good day for making placemats!

 

Happy Stitching !

The stitcheries are really sweet. I particularly love the barrow full of blooms. Reminds me of the one we plant out each year in our garden.

It is fabulous, Penny. Maybe the dark color was just a bit too overbearing to "disappear". But the finished product is beautiful. I need to stitch those blocks too but there is just so much good stuff out there in blogland, it is so hard to choose.
Take care! Love your work!

I think it looks great but I think maybe the purple is a little too bold and so it doesn't blend in like the others.
Still a beautiful job though.
