Did you strip piece the 9P's? Isn't it amazing how much fabric you really need for the pieces as so half of it is in seam allowances? Oh friend you are on a roll and will be whipping up these special little ones left and right.

Yes, a lot fo fabric ... yet it's so rewarding as to how fast I made a quilt top!!! (even though it takes me a long time to finish with the quilting and then the photo op!!!). Thank you Dear Friend for piquing my interest in this area, though I may get too too side tracked at times!

Yes ... poke and stab hand quilting for the ♥'s using 2 strands embroidery floss. The back looks horrendous, front not so bad.

hahahaha!!!! Have I got you fooled!!!!!!! Patient I am not ... though stubborn I am!
It actually wasn't that hard ... strip piecing and some shots of Best Press and away to the races!
And the best part is that it was FUN!!!
OKSGlad ... now that you've got me, hook, line and sinker, you can now go to work on JeanieG!!!
