I'm behind too. Don't know exactly how many I have done, need to go count them! I *think*, as of today, we should have 56. Please correct me if the count is wrong.

O! I want one of those! They are just adorable. Where did you get them?

Okay, I'm waaay behind. I got terribly side-tracked by another project or two and school starting up again. Don't know if I'll ever be able to catch up. Barely finding sewing time now that school has begun again...oh well, one of these days. 8-)

Nobody is going to give you 30 lashes with a wet noodle if you don't get caught up! I've been working on other projects too but I think if we just keep on doing them when/as we can, as extra blocks, we will have lots more projects to work on as we need them..

Bet I'm further behind than you are - Blame my behindness on getting addicted to making CRUMB blocks - I've made over 80 and NEED TO STOP!

I think I'll SET UP my sewing area for making the 9 patches and see where that leads me - in the early early morning hours and late late late hours of the days!

Ok, here goes, posting pictures, I hope.

That makes 79 nine patch blocks complete with more on the table.

Love seeing all the 9patches! I am sewing snowballs along with my 9patches so when I am finished, I will hopefully have enough blocks for a queen quilt!

Glad to see so many posting pictures of your 9 patches.
LOOOOOOOOOOKING GOOOOOD

Happy quilting every one...........

Guess what I found out I made the easy pinwheel tute it worked so well so then I tried something else

I am sorry to say I haven't made any but I had some problems around here. I love looking at everybody's you all are doing so good.

To Everyone making the nine patches,
I just found this thread and have been looking at all the beautiful work you all have been doing. Had I known about this project, it would have been fun working along with all of you.

Blue Bell

Come on - jump in there is still time......... come join the fun. We are all working at a dif pace so if you look at it that way - you are just a little behind and can catch up.................

Ohhhh shiver! I have a short in my sewing machine cord. I feel like Chicken Little !

You poor thing............... do get it replaced............. want you around for a looooong looooooong time..... don't take any chances.

I too am chicken little when it comes to anything electrical.
Turned on a lamp one time and the bulb exploded... Just hate things like that.

MrsPete, I would be lost without my sewing machine. I hope yu have a second one to use until you can get a new cord. HURRY! HURRY! HURRY to the store and get a new one.

When is the 9 patch project *officially* over? and how many blocks to we need to finish? I know I'm behind and seriously doubt that I will catch up in time, but I'm going to continue working on it anyway. I just love doing these and have so many idea's for Christmas projects to make from them.

There are no 9 patch police so you go for it girl........ do what you can when you can and have fun with them.
Will be looking for pictures of all those Christmas projects.

Happy Quilting to each and all........... ScrapQuilter

I have my little portable machine going. I do not like electric stuff, either. Well I took 27 of the nine patches to the crafters at church. We are doing some crafts for a Christmas trip for seniors and we needed another project really quickly. But I haven't actually made anymore. I have several cut out and another swap to do and I'm cutting on that now. Tomorrow is our last day, isn't it? So, it is actuallyt 73 completed at this time. It has been fun and I will continue, but only because I have these projects lined up. I love this. More fun to have folks who share and understand what you are doing.

Blessings,
Ruth

Nice approach for placemats !

As I posted my pics on p.37, I have 111 blocks made(I know I went over, but I was working on a quilt for my older brother) all sewn together and now working on the borders. It may take me several more days to do this. I'll be busy at the drs. tomorrow and going to a flea market & lunch with one of my neighbors on Thurs. so it'll be Fri. before I get to work on this anymore. I have to set down and figure out the placement for my borders, sew them on and then post a new pic. That's about as far as I'll get for a while because I want to hand quilt this and won't have the extra time to get to it for awhile(other projects in front of this one).

Well you just made up for the ones we didn't get done! lol still working on my pastel 9p--may be an ongoing project as I rid my self of 2" strips and small scraps of pastels.

That's so funny, glad I could help out!!!

wow!!! Everyone is really going great guns here!! I finished putting together the last 15, 9 patches for this tonight. The border is made, from all the "odd" 1 1/2" squares...anything that didnt' have at least 4 went into the border strip.

Patti

Oh I really like it Patti! G

Oooh I like it Patti, nice and scrappy.

very nice im still working on putting mine togather hope to have picture soon

Pzazz looking really good!

Well I FINALLY got a computer back! I have been catching up with y'all I will post links to pictures I missed on the group page. We should have 78 9 patch blocks on the 31st. I still have some catching up to do since I won't count the ones I made twice. :oops: I will have to count mine. I took a little detour into Bow Tucks land and have 2 more of those to finish up. It's good to be back! :thumbup:

OK some of my 9 patch blocks, all batiks and black

Okay, I admit it, I'm WAY behind. I only have 44 made, but have gotten sidetracked on another project. BUT...I'm still planning on continuing on as I have several projects in mind for my 9 patches. So this has been good for me and even after our time frame ends, I'm going to keep making 9 patches!

WOW, Leaha, that is an eye knocker. Soooo beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Blessings,
Ruth

Love the contrast of the green and black, Leaha!!

Patti

wow great job thanks for sharing

Me, too, only have 20 made, lots of problems with my mom, but also plan on doing the whole 78. And here I thought I'd have no problem doing these, 1 a day!!! :( :( :-D :-D

hahaha! That's because we spend more time here then in our sewing room sewing!!!!!

Have mine pulled out (for the last 3 weeks LOL), just need to get back to them:)

I counted mine last night. I am now re-vamping the borders on this lap quilt. The body only has 75...so I will be making corner blocks. :D Good thing we have no quilt police to tell me I can't do that. LOL

Have a great day everyone.

Patti

Yes, yes, that is sooooo true!! Also can't sew when DH is around as it "bothers" him when he is on computer. Have no place private to sew! :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

I feel for those who don't have their own sewing area. I've been really lucky that most of my life I've had a spare room to sew in. In my last home, I used the formal living room/dining room to sew in. It was huge! Now I have the largest bedroom (upstairs) to sew in. I would have liked to have the den, but DH claimed it for his man cave.

My oldest daughter got a sewing machine for Christmas last year from her SO. She has taken a spare bedroom and made it her sewing area. (no kids)

One day, we shall all be empty nesters and have our very own sewing space! (I love being an empty nester!)
