The mini 9-patch blocks are beginning to take shape. My wife is piecing blocks for a throw that has a Berenstain Bears theme, and using the Leaders & Enders method. She’s got a couple of mini 9-patch blocks made for the 99 Bottles quilt while she been doing so. The 9-patches will start coming faster now that she has the initial Bears blocks completed, and she’ll be doing less chain-sewing to continue that quilt top (she’ll be removing her pieces from under the foot more now, instead of leaving the foot down and feeding another pair of fabric pieces under the foot).

The sewing machine is a 1956 Singer 301A fitted with a current production clear 1/4” foot, and mounted in a 1950s Singer Model 430 "Profile" Three-way Sewing Desk.
