I'm in need a quilt by Aug 15th for granddaughter Kallies birthday

Good Morning Ladies! Thanks craftybear for organizing our links http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-merv/rose.gif I have added zjsquiltymomma, smtp5, and beckyw.

Has everyone "shopped" their stashes? I think I am going to be spending my weekend getting organized. Well, part of it anyway since I will be working and then sleeping a good part of Saturday away. :roll: I am also going to try and work on some of the UFOs that have been hanging out. We will see how that goes. So many quilts, so little time! :?

I wish I was going to be home for the summer. It sounds like ya'll are going to have so much fun 9 patching. I will be watching and enjoying from afar. Maybe if I am not gone too long I can catch up at the end.

:oops: I missed homequilter. That will teach me to read before my first cup of coffee :? You have been added :thumbup:

Awww too bad you can't join us TexasGranny. I hope you are going someplace exciting!

The place is not exciting but the people are... I will be able to see my 3 grandchildren and take care of my mom for a while to give my sister a break. My mother lives alone but does not drive or really walk very well. So my sister helps her out alot.
Good news is my daughter said her sewing machine is just gathering dust.. She has three children 4 and under.. so...
I will be able to do some sewing while away.
Count me in for the grand finale .. Hooray!

Great news TexasGranny and getting to see grandchildren is exciting. I am in Texas and all of mine are in Alabama so I don't get to see them very often. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-sad047.gif I have added you into our merry little group.

Sounds Great! Good way to start a Christmast present. :>)

I'm in the start of a great Christmas Present.
sltiffee

Im in for this great deal. I usually use these type of blocks for my starters and stoppers on others quilts. Since I have 3 quilts going now I need more starter blocks. Now I will have 4 quilts finished in no time.

It sure does sound like fun, count me in. Where do we make contact re: the 9 patch. Carlene needles 995 @ aol.com

Count me in. See, this is exactly why quilters have a stash.

Count me in...sounds like fun

Sure - why not - sounds like a lot of fun and the motivation is great - count me in.

Sounds like fun. I hope I can keep up. 8-)

You betcha, please count me in. I would like to also take Pam's pledge but sub the wine for Tequila..Boy what a crazy 9 patch that will be. lol

Sounds like it should be fun. Sign me up.

I have added everyone on page 10 of the thread. Welcome to everyone! :-) I am now off to bed. I will check when I get up to see if I need to add anyone else. Have a great day! :-)

Oh karley all you need to do is watch this thread I will remind everyone when the 15th rolls around. Everyone remember this is a group activity not a swap. The blocks you make will be used by you. Now I am really off to get some sleep, it's been a long night.

thank you for all this time consuming work

I have a question. Does this have to be a scrappy or can we make what we want?

I think that as long as it is a nine patch, you can do whatever you like! Most people seem to be doing scrappy styles to use up their stash. I don't have a stash so I had to buy some fabric.

The main idea seems to be have fun and encourage each other :P

count me in have tons of 2.5 inch strips

Hi,

I copied and pasted this to the links section for us

JudyG this is how I corral my little squares b4 sewing. works great.

http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-42414-1.htm

this will be your quilt not a swap so make it how you want to

I am making mine scrappy

Sounds very doable and the fabric king knows I have a LOT of stash, time to start using something I already have . I'm in.

I Want in on this, It sounds like fun. Theresse

I just got up with the worst cold and fever. So I will not be going to work tonight. Upper respiratory infections and premature babies don't mix. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-fc/no.gif I thought I was a little more tired than normal this morning.

To answer some questions I have been getting. Since you will be using the blocks yourself you can turn them into whatever you want. Make it scrappy or make it more controlled. The idea was to use your stash. I know we have some newer quilters joining us who don't have extensive stashes and since they are buying fabric they may want to plan their blocks for their final project. Hope that answers that for everyone. This is a "Burger King" project-Make it your way. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/s...merv/dance.gif

I have added the people from page 11. Please everyone go to the project page and make sure your name is there. I don't want to miss anyone. Here is the link again-

Now I am going to go see if I can find the tylenol and some chicken soup. I will be back.

swan hope you feel better soon nothing worse than a summer cold take cre

Swan Song, take care of yourself, and thanks for putting this together. I think it is going to be a lot of fun to see what emerges from this challenge.

I'm in, maybe this will get me started instead of just saying I'm going to start quilting!!!

Thanks for all the well wishes. :-) Welcome to all the new members. We now stand at 70 members! :thumbup:
