A disappearing block is a traditional block that has been cut into four quarters and then reassembled.
I enjoy designing with disappearing blocks. I thought I'd take another stab at Calico Puzzle.

Quilter's Connection
Imagine
This is a quilt I designed and made using a Northcott panel.
The panel was given to three different designers, Susan Jensen, Jean Boyd an me. Our designs and the patterns for them can be found in the Fall (September) issue of Quilter's Connection Magazine.
I've never worked with a panel before. It was a new experience. Rather than simply add a border around the panel, I decided to cut the panel into three pieces and insert the word "Imagine".
Why "Imagine"? Well, because it was a picture of a reindeer made of snowflakes that had come together like a super-dense constellation of stars in the night sky. I'm asking you to imagine that and then imagine even more.

Four Friends Quilt 4
Look What Susan Did
A while ago I taught a class on sewing my Four Friends pattern to the members of the Fabric Stashers Guild here in Calgary.
Each one turned out a little different. This is the one Susan did.
I'm not sure but I think those are Susan's fingers. If they are, then that's Susan hiding behind her quilt.

Festival of Quilts Quilt
Linda
My wife Linda and I were the guest speaker at the Festival of Quilts Saturday night dinner here in Calgary.
This is the quilt Linda made for the occasion. I think she did a wonderful job of quilting it.
I designed the quilt and block and named them after her.

Mix & Match #4
Disappearing
Kansas Star
In my last post I made new blocks from each of these color versions of Kansas Star by cutting each block into quarters and then reassembling the quarters differently. I then used the new blocks in quilt designs.
What if I take two quarters from one block and two quarters from another block and use those to make a new block?

Disappearing
Kansas Star
A Kansas star block is made from nine diamond patches. If you assemble a Kansas Star block then cut it into four quarters, you can use the quarters to make new blocks and some exciting new quilts.
In my last post I did nine color variations of a Kansas Star block. I am going to try this technique on each of them in turn.
