I came home Friday afternoon from the LQS with some fabric and a book that the owner wanted me to make for a shop sample. I started working on it Sunday afternoon. Lots of strips. 98 strips to sew together...These are small strips and I sewed them all together that afternoon.
I came home today and started cutting the strips apart in 1 1/2" increments to make 25 patches. I needed to make 36 of these. Then I needed some other strips to make the other part of the block. All these added together along with a plain square to make up the following 9 Patch Block...
See the 25 Patches in the corner? Each block has 4 for the corners of the block. I have to make 9 blocks. These nine patches finish really big. All of the little blocks, the 25 patch, the striped block and the plain block are 5 1/2" each.
I finished one 9 patch. I'll be sewing on these later in the week. All my pieces are ready to be put together. Now, I just have to find the time to sew. It looks like Thursday will be the first day I have to sew so I'll show you more later. Here's a picture of some of the pieces ready to be put together...
Tomorrow is Tatting Tuesday and I'll be working on my flag. I don't get to work on it except when I go to tatting. I love it and it's going together too but it's slow. It's getting big and heavy and it hurts my hand to hold it so I take alot of breaks as to not hurt myself.
Wednesday night, I'll be going to a friend's house to work on a block for a raffle quilt. It's a busy week but I know it's going to be a fun...til next time...
