Nightfall Gradient  Disappearing Nine Patch by Jeannette Ringuette This week's inspiration comes from Jeanette Ringuette and started with 2 floral prints print from her stash. This is one that I feel we really collaborated on! Jeannette purchased a pack of Wild Black Cherry and 2 Stars (one yard cuts) but realized that she didn't have quite enough to make her large (101 x 109) quilt. She sent me snips of the florals and the 2 Stars. I knew that I couldn't exactly match the Stars because they aren't made from recipes but her pattern allowed for some leeway. I dyed 2 new fabrics that came close enough. The quilt turned out great!
