Furthermore, I will use up those odd, not quite square half square triangles and other odd cuts. I will sew tiny pieces together to inspire others to say "What on Earth was she thinking"? I will fear no color, face yellow and purple and orange and turquoise and checks and stripes with a smile, or grimace, but I will sew them together. I will not quake in fear of the quilt police, for they live in me alone and I CAN have a glass of wine if I need to.

I moved this back here in case anyone else needs to raise a hand, LOL.

Will a D9P count as a 9 patch in this *Sew Along*??

Hi, all! I am sort of new here and new to quilting. I joined a while back and am addicted to this site! I have made two complete quilts and have machine quilted a third with a top I bought. I will properly introduce myself and include pictures of the quilts later, but...I would LOVE to join this project. I can work this in with my other projects and, if I make two 9-patches per day, I'll soon have enough for two quilts! And if I make three per day...LOL!

Count me in!

Melinda, you will be making the traditional 9 patch before you cut it and any 9 patch counts. There are no rules except 1 per day and use your stash as much as possible.

laurlync, I have added you.
