D. Henson, I like your ORL blocks. How many more blocks do you plan to make? I plan to get back to that project after I make blocks for 2 swaps.

I’m liking all of the blocks everyone is making. Such lovely and bright fabric.

I’m still on block #9. I’m work on more tomorrow.

Hello ladies, Just checking in. Love all the blocks being posted.
I should be back in Fort Worth next week and back to work on my blocks.

I like both but the apples remind me of my home state, Washington. Thanks everyone for posting pictures.

I’m not sure how I’m going to put them together. I have made the scrappy sashing in her directions, however, I might just use something simple. I made 4 more today.

I made a few 9P today. I found a few 10” squares left over from a layer cake. I can’t remember the name of the cake, but very colorful. Crazy. There may not be enough contrast. I have a few more I can pair with a solid or TOT.

I have done the same thing. I made some 9 patches last time using some leftover 10" squares from some packs.

UGH!. I have been so busy! I am jealous of all of you who are working on your swap blocks already. I won't even start mine until after June 16 because my daughter is getting married out of state and I am still altering dresses for that and making 600 home made caramels for it and quilting customer Quilts with deadlines! OH, and then I still need to work my job as a Hotel Manager, too! I am probably crazy to try to get these nine patches done by the deadline, but I really enjoyed the swap last time. It is fun getting blocks with different fabrics from the fabrics I have.

TIP of the Day! For those of you who may be having trouble with your nine patch squares being smaller than
6 1/2" square when it is done, move the needle over one or two threads if you have that option on your machine. I have a Bernina and a Pfaff machine and both have that option. I use the 1/4" foot but I still need to move my needle position over to the right one or two spots so I get my scant 1/4" inch when I sew with the fabric running along the edge of my 1/4" foot.

Happylab - I'm making 25 blocks. I think that is half of Bonnie's mystery. I've been plugging along and have 2 left to make.

Keep on going..., one block at a time.

aborning - You are having a busy few months and a stressful time. After June 16 you will definitely need some rest and relaxing. What better way to relax than make 9Ps. Try and get strips or squares cut a head of time (a little snip here, and there), then after the wedding, you can knock them out!! Congrats on the upcoming wedding!!!
