Typically, when I make one of my tried and true Vanishing 9-Patch quilts, I put the main fabrics in the corners and in the middle, but I was working with a Charm Pack and wanted to get 9 blocks out of the 42 charms and so I put the main fabrics on each of the four sides and the white background fabric in the middle and in the corners!!
Well, instead of getting the colorful quilt I usually get, I got this white quilt with colored crosses!! Not what I was planning!!
But I did not even think about it when I did it - good lesson learned!! THINK!! It will be fine (but not what I wanted) once the border goes on, it gets quilted and a border is placed.
I think I will call it my "elegant" table topper. It is for my friend's 89-year old mom who lovessssssss tableclothes!! I will just tell her that this is truly an original!! She'll love - it's a table cloth!!

Well, I think it turned out pretty darn cute. I know she will love it.
Does your friend's mom expect it to look like you did? What difference will it make to her--any? I think it looks great, but I had no preconceived notions about how it would look. So there! : )
I really like it---do you need my snail mail addy? ;)
We live and learn! I like the quilt anyway and I'm sure your friend's mum will love it.Love Saturday's smile too. That is the way I feel at the moment AAAGGGHHH
I love this -- I think it looks fabulous! Not live and learn -- live and let live! LOL! :)
