July Projects for Charming Girl's Quilt Club

Time to post my projects for this month's Quilt Club: First up, some 9 patch blocks that have been sitting waiting patiently on me to return to them for over 6 years. I decided to try the Disappearing 9-patch design and have already cut the blocks in quarters. Haven't decided yet exactly how I want to put them back together. Any suggestions?
Next up, a friend of mine has an autistic son. She is a proud mom and has asked me to make a "rock" bag for her using this Autisim Awareness fabric to make it. This will be the 6th different project I have made for her using this fabric, and they have all turned out nicely. For those of you that don't know what a "rock" bag looks like, it is a simple pouch, with a flap, and a strap long enough to be worn cross-shoulder. I had made one for her son using scraps from the project shown in the post below this one. She wants hers to be similar but made with this fabric and adding a zipper. She takes her son to the park downtown to play almost every afternoon and she wants something to keep her wallet in as she walks when he plays.

So, that is the two projects I plan for this month's quilt club. Wish me luck! Oh, and if you are of a mind to join us, hop over to Charming Chatter and sign up.

Oh, this is so fun, Carol! I've never seen a disappearing 9 patch before, and will be excited to see what you do with the blocks. And, the bag looks like it will be great -- very bright and cheery! So glad you've joined us in the fun!
