Yes, he does. He's a past president of the guild as well. And a really great, inspiring person.

Yes, I strip pieced the blocks and chain stitched as well, so the 48 blocks went together real fast. I got them completed in a couple of hours last night. Just need to add the HSTs to the two corners of each block now. Here's how they look laid out together.

I also like Rhonda's design in 'Trip Around Nine'.

Be sure to attach the picture with this post to the quilt - - the way those two little HST in two corners of the nine patch absolutely punches up the intrigue of the design!
I was visiting the nursing home one afternoon, and at the end of the hallway was an interesting lap robe laying on a chair. I had to stop and figure out how it was done ... simple nine patch, turned on point, with a nice fabric square between ... turning things on point, such a little technique does some amazing things to a block, too ...
most of us don't understand that it is simple little things and your quilt absolutely PROVES that to be the case. <wave>
