Here's My Friend Tiffany With Some Fandango love!

Today's guest blogger happens to be a very good friend of mine. Tiff and I met on twitter and started chatting on the phone, now I don't think I could get thru a day without chatting a bit. She blogs over at Another Pie In The Sky. I was so glad that she agreed to be a guest on my blog this week, and that she faced her fear and finally cut into this beautiful fabric :) I hope you hop on over to her blog and say hi for me!

Hi everyone! I'm so glad to be here at Craizee Corners! I am a huge fan of Kate Spain! In fact, the first "real" fabric I bought to start building my stash was Kate Spain's Fandango. It is one of my all time favorite fabric lines. The fat quarter set has been on my shelf for 9 months. Sha said, "Hey, I'm doing Kate Spain month. Now you can use your Fandango that you've had forever." Of course I couldn't say no, what kind of friend would I be? It took me a day to stare at it trying to talk myself out of it, then it sat a day and a half on my cutting table before I finally got up the courage to start cutting up my beloved and cherished Fandango fabric. 

I decided to do a disappearing 9 patch. I had never done this before and I have really enjoyed it (I'm sure the fabric had a lot to do with it, too). The cutting and block assembly went really quick. I had made a 9 patch before so I was familiar with that part. I was a bit baffled when I learned I had to cut the 9 patch blocks. I mean, it's bad enough to cut fabric, put it back together, but having to cut it again and put it together again...I find it humorous. 

I have not sewn the blocks together, but it is up on my design board to be sewn together. Here is how it looks...

The disappearing 9 patch would be great for a beginner or a seasoned quilter. I love how this pattern allowed me to showcase each great fabric in this line! Also, as sad as I am to use the fabric (may have to order more) I am very happy to get to use my favorite fabric, and now I will be able to cuddle up underneath it.

Thank you Sha for having me! I appreciate you allowing me to share my Fandango quilt with you and your readers.

A big thank youi to Tiffany for showing us this great Fandango project. I am going to be bugging you until you finish this quilt, but like you said what are friends for?

Come back tomorrow for more Kate Spain love. I am going to put the borders on my Terrain quilt and then start the next Terrain quilt. Yes you heard me correct...I love this fabric so much that I am making a quilt for the guest room and a throw for the living room. I am using The Terrain Project Sheet Pattern for the throw.

And don't forget to enter the giveaway of 4 yards of your choice of Terrain from the Fat Quarter Shop!
