In May last year our quilt group had an in-house disappearing 9 patch workshop.
A good opportunity to use my box of French General fabric.
( Sorry about the quality of the photos.
You know how beautiful these fabrics really are.)
I started with 5 of these .....
After two centre cuts, vertical and horizontal, and a twist to the left for all quarters, this was the result .....
Wanting a bit more variation I made 4 more blocks reversing the lights and darks.
Now I had a square quilt top, measuring 48½ x 48½ with more variety.
A border and peeper strip added to each end.
Now for a bit of decoration. A few decisions still to be made.

Last finish for 2018. A small zipper bag made using a tutorial on the Fat Quarter shop blog.

Love, love, love your FG quilt flimsy! Thanks for the inspiration because I have a collection of FG fabrics that are still not yet depleted after making one big quilt from them, so I think this pattern will be perfect to use up some I can continue to enjoy it some more!
Beautiful quilt top, the French general fabrics are wonderful, love the little bag too.
Ah French General...always a good choice...your disappearing nine patch looks great, good idea to mix it up with those additional blocks...love the wee umbrellas on your zipper bag, it is very cute...
