I finished 24 patches from 2-1/2" squares today and am working on some 1-1/2" squares, so I am in good shape for awhile. I have to confess I am going to have some help with whatever this is going to be. My friend who has MS wants to make a quilt for her grandson but has no use of her legs. I took down one of my machines that she can sew with using the start/stop button. I thought it would be good for her to practice sewing with it before she tries working on the blocks for the quilt she wants to make, so I took down a bunch of 3-1/2" squares so she can make some 9 patches with them for me and get in some practice on the machine. She's have some fun getting to do something that she normally would be able to do. Isn't technology wonderful?
