I think he likes it:
He's a big fan of Paw Patrol and when I saw this fabric at Hobby Lobby, I knew it would make a great quilt to add under the Christmas tree so I pulled coordinating fabrics from my stash:
I've had this pattern pinned for quite some time and finally got one made. This is a simple disappearing 9-patch. I like the fact that you can showcase a special fabric or make it scrappy and it was the perfect pattern for putting this novelty fabric front and center:
This is the quilt I quilted when my friend, C, offered to show me how to use her new long arm.
I learned so much...like it's not a good idea to keep a death grip on the handles or to lock your knees because you might get dizzy:
I was cutting it close, but got it trimmed and bound a few days before Christmas:
My quilting leaves a lot of be desired, but I'm happy with my maiden voyage on a long arm. Thank you for showing me the ropes, C! T loves the quilt and he doesn't complain about the bobbles in the quilting:
I hope it continues to be snuggled and loved, just like the little boy that it belongs to:
I backed it with a gray Minky for added snug-ability and added red binding:
It finishes at 48" x 60"

Perfect little quilt to delight a little boy and to practice on a longarm. It’s quite different from FMQing on a domestic, isn’t it!? The disappearing Nine Patch certainly has its place! Looks great in your layout. 9ne year I used a collection of 6” pieced blocks in the mix and it came out spectacular!
Cute quilt and your quilting looks great especially for your first time! Who doesn't love a quilt backed in minky?
Nice job. The DNP looks fabulous with those fabrics: I can see why the little guy loves it so much.
Do I see a long arm machine in your future? LOL shelljo
That is a nice pattern to feature a fun print.
You did well with your longarm quilting. I have tried a machine at a local shop, and my first attempts were not worthy of being on anybody's quilt. :)
Good for you for giving long arm quilting a go! Sure looks good to me! Isn't it fun to give a quilt to someone you know is going to love it literally to pieces?
