I don't want to swap; I just want to make a dent in my stash.

For those "tricky" people you could alternate your block sizes - just make sure they measure in multiples of 3" finished.
Example: Some made with 2-1/2" squares (6" finished), some made with 3-1/2" squared (9" finished), and some with 4-1/2" squares (12" finished)
Then set them with solid, embroidered, or applique blocks (also mixed sizes to fill in) and you would have a Sampler type.
I think this would be a neat way to use up some UFBs or create a "theme" quilt (butterflies, turtles, christmas, fall leaves, whatever strikes)

Instructions for newbies?

I'm in, too, if I'm allowed to make them totally scrappy (oh, that's right, there are no quilt police here. LOL)

Ok I have a week to think about it . . .

or for you to twist my arm to start another project! :(

Can you feel me twisting? :) :) :) Come on you can do it, join us quiltinghere

Terryl....tell her girl!

Come on QH....you know you want to....

Hey..if i jumped in on it with what all lack of experience i have and do it with excitment :thumbup: then more of us can do it! Finch, do i see you on board?

I'm in also!!! I need to use a bunch of scraps!!! Will be fun...so we make one 9-patch a day for a month...any size, color or fabric...What will we do with other than enjoy a 9-patch quilt for ourselves or gift for family/friend?

OK, I am in. My right hand is raised.

I, Pam the Procrastinator, do hereby pledge to do a nine patch for every day of the remainder of the Summer. I will faithfully check off each day as I make the block, some will be done ahead, some will be late, I am a realist. I vow to use scraps, NOT to cut into my stash! I will do my best to make them all different sizes to drive myself insane when it is time to put them together. 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.
