Chair Back Quilts

I wanted to try a few of the patterns from the book "Disappearing 9 Patch", but didn't necessarily want to do big quilts. Hence, small quilts from essentially the same group of fabrics made with different 9-patch blocks. This method is also fun to try out different machine quilting techniques.
For the first little quilt, I used gold thread in the bobbin and actually quilted it from the back.
They are working out great in the living room and serving two purposes: (1) keeping the backs of the recliners clean and (2) bringing in bits of color to otherwise drab chairs.
