It's a party and you're invited!

A Jungle Party, that is! 

Check out these safari-themed prints from our new Jungle Party collection:

Wondering what type of quilt pattern to use with these prints? We suggest the disappearing nine-patch block design. You can find a tutorial for how to make this block here (the tute is for a table runner...simply make more blocks for a quilt!).

And while of course we love the animal prints in Jungle Play--realistic looking elephants, zebras, and hippos, but the coordinates in this line have so much possibility as well!

Toile, African savanna style--perfect for a tote bag lining

A variation on "what's black and white and red all over?" Zebra print mixed with lime green for a trendy stripe.

Rows of zebras! We love this print too.

Faux snakeskin--make a dressy clutch without breaking the bank.

See the entire Jungle Play collection here and ask for it at your local quilt shop.

Disappearing Ninepatch Table Runner Tutorial

Welcome back to Day 2 of Marblehead Week of tutorials and giveaways! 

Today's tutorial: Disappearing Ninepatch Table Runner

Use this clever piecing technique to make an autumn-hued runner for your table!

You'll Need:

• Twenty 5" Marblehead squares
• 1/3 yard white solid
• 1/3 yard binding fabric
• 1 yard backing fabric
• 18" x 58" piece of batting

Cut sixteen 5" squares from the white solid. 

Lay out 5 colored squares and 4 white squares into a ninepatch as shown. Sew the squares together into rows and join the rows. 

Cut the ninepatch in half in both directions to create 7" blocks. 

Make 3 more ninepatches and cut to create a total of 16 blocks. 

Now it's time to lay out the runner! There are many different ways to lay out these disappearing ninepatch blocks. We'll show you a few options here, but you can experiment more on your own as well.

Sew the blocks into rows and join the rows. 

Layer the backing right side down, batting, and runner right side up. Baste and quilt as desired. Use four 2-1/4" x 42" strips to bind the runner.
