    Default And the "bits" go on!

    I've finished #6 community quilt for Canada and while I was going through the QB with my morning tea I've always noticed my legs are cold. For years! Ding, ding, ding! Why not make Me a quilt?
    Great idea. Found a nice pattern on MSQC - "9-patch Swap". Easy but fiddly because I "shrank" the blocks to 6". Loving how its coming along even with tons of 1 1/2" cut pieces!

    Here are the two in progress:

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]612779[/ATTACH]

    The 2nd one shows how I don't ever throw out anything bigger than 1 1/2"!! Love my "Bits" bin. Have a happy day!!

    *ding*ding*ding*
    Yes, sometimes the obvious just isn't obvious enough, isn't it?
    Definitely, time to make one for you!!

    The white really makes those sampler blocks show nicely.
    Immaculate piecing!

    Oh thanks for sharing your #6! Anxious to see the finish from your Bits Bin. I love that name.

    I'm going to go dig in my Bits Bin 1" or BB .75. Need to make a mini..QE it's for a farm related fundraiser...gonna have a barn in it, I think!

    You can do it!!!!

    That'd be part of the intrigue of the quilt .... where's the cow?

    Kitsy I like the first quilt the best. I don't have you patience or talent.
