I didn't participate, but by golly, I just think it had to have been one of the finest challenges and encouragements any level of quilter could be involved with.
I am enjoying seeing what the nine patches got used for. <wave>

GRATS TQ! I knew you could do it! :thumbup:
I am sitting on a stack of 9Ps that will go into a lap quilt for my Mom who is having her second total hip replacement Nov. 1st. I really can't wait to get it together BUT...I have all of the sudden become a costumer. :roll:
The last time I made clothes was...um...high school? That was a long time ago! My DS will be a stage manager of the Cutting Edge Haunted House this year and decided he needed a new costume. :? Oh and he needs it by this Saturday! :shock: It is a golden yellow suit coat and pants. I talked him into PJ style pants, those I can handle, the jacket, oh my, I guess we will see. :roll: Then he tells me when it is done he is going to cut it up and "age" it. :cry:

My DD dragged him to several thrift stores and upon returning said not so sweetly that she would NEVER take him shopping again! :? I searched for hours thru costume places online and found a suitable outfit. I was thinking "YAY!" When it got here it didn't look anything like the picture. :-( It was awful so I am going to now have to return it. So...off to JoAnn's for their Labor Day sale and I insisted on the $1.97 Broadcloth and the McCall's patterns on sale for $1.99. I did forget shoulder pads for the jacket and I am not going to go back to get them. :x
Just wait till he sees what I have planned for him in payment. :wink:

When I started this project i loved the idea of using scraps but I am not good at "random". Someone sugggested that I use the scraps from my family's quilts to make it easier to use different colors together. After making the 9 patches I decided to twist them. I was not very happy with how they turned out but I pushed on and finished it. This blanket has become so special to me I can't even explain. My SIL says it's a mothers quilt kind of like a mothers ring. I feel so close to my family and I have it over me everytime I sit in the living room. Kind of ugly? Yes but treasured even more.
