OK, but I am scrambling for enough stash/scrap fabric now. I think I will do two seperate projects maybe...

Swan Song

I think I may do a couple projects also. Not sure yet. It just has to be a 9 nine patch a day they don't have to all go to one project.

I like this idea.......count me in.

I have added Nana and updated the group activity page to reflect the change from August 15 to the 31. In case you missed it the link to the page is-

OK, but be prepared, I am making what could possibly the ugliest quilt ever produced with beautiful fabrics. I am NOT a scrap fan, and my diverse tastes are clashing!

Swan Song, thanks for setting this up! I love to make 9 patches; will take pictures later today of the 2 baby quilts I have been making the past week, just need to finish the bindings.

I have been rummaging thru my stash. I am trying to plan projects for them. I really have never done anything scrappy. I have a problem with random.

Same here, Swan Song. I am trying to use op some tiny strips. I think I have about 6 pieces of fabric in just one square of a 9 patch. This one might be a charity quilt, or for the camper.

I spent a good portion of last evening going through my scraps and cutting blocks for this. I decided to try to three different size blocks. I'm cutting my prettier fabrics into 3-1/2" squares for a 9" finished 9 patch and my uglier fabrics into 1-1/2" squares for a 3" finished 9 patch. And cutting lots of 2-1/2" squares for a 6" finished block. We'll see how it goes when putting it together.

Now that I have my scraps cut into squares, I hope to strip piece the ones I cut from larger pieces of fabric. Those little 1-1/2" squares will be a pain to work with.

Here is an interesting 9 patch. It would be a great way to use little scraps.
