n2--I do sew the first three pairs of the 9P and then add the third square. When each set of three is sewn they are still hooked together.
Check the swaps section. Missi has "instructions" in the first post. Collect 50 different fabs for a set, request the number of sets you want to swap and send that many sets to her. She'll do the switching and send you the number of sets you sent here. Last time I sent 4 sets--plan to do 6 the next time.
Got all the 9P sewn this afternoon-32; now to press and sew the three seams to finish. G

Oh, I see. You are webbing yours, right? Since they are hooked together, it is a great method. I haven't tried that yet. BH of Quiltville does that too! Yes, I had read all the instructions before on the swap but never saw where you could repeat a fabric in your batch or put solids in. I don't think it specified "charms only." Wow, you are really on a roll today with the 9P's! We'll be looking for your finals soon!
:D :D

thank you for the tip, cant wait to see that one done. Penny

Your project will be exciting to watch being put together, please, keep posting as you go.....giggle, I'm nosey!

Great job so far! I just love the EB style, it saves time, keeps parts together and saves thread! I can't wait to see the finished quilt!

Hey thanks all--won't be long and I can put together more 9 patches. I'm getting 6 sets this time--so that's 300 squares divided by 9 is enough for 33 + blocks and if I add fabrics of my own--well who know's how big this will get!

How is it coming along ?

I use that Eleanor Burns technique, too, and find that the blocks go together really fast this way. Keeps the little squares together throughout the whole sewing process. I'd like to see this quilt done. Thanks!!
