That will be one super stupendous quilt. Can't wait to see your finished project. Civil war colors always look great.

Really sweet. Great job. How big do you plan on it being? Or is this is, you've run out of patience?

Seriously ... really great work,

My DH thinks all quilts should be big, so I did get out the graph paper and I worked out the math for a 5' X 6' quilt i would need...... 980 9-patches and 980 2" shirting squares for between. But I have to say I am having fun making the strip sets for the 9-patches so I do already have 900 9-patches made (just not pressed open yet). I buy alot of fat quarters so that will give me alot of variety for the 2 inch squares between. Just haven't decided if I want a big quilts or lots of littles. See many kinds of 9 patch in a 9patch in a 9patch. So haven't decided. From having my big quilts quilted, I use a premium muslin for the backing. So I am using muslin scraps in the 9 patches between the cw fabrics.
