Melissa-is that pattern called Second Hand Clothes? I saw it on Bonnie Blue. What is going to be the finished size of the quilt? How long did it take you to make all the blocks? You have been VERY busy!! :lol:

Yes and NO! I have a pattern called Heritage Squares that I sort of used but it actually had a 17 patch. I couldnt get all the pieces needed for that out of my 5" charm square so I took the idea for the 9 patch from Second Hand Clothes, MY pattern says 83 x 90 finished size, but I added an extra row of plain blocks around the outside so... not real sure what size it will finish at!

Oh Marcia I forgot to answer part of your question. I started it on june 7th so about 2 weeks but there were a LOT of days I didnt get to work on it The one day that I did get to sew all that I wanted to I made 60 blocks. So it could very easily be made in just a couple of days.

Now Marcia, I said it COULD be done, not that I did do it in a couple of days! :lol: But then I was only counting piecing the blocks too, probably better add another day or two to put it all together. (so it will probably take me a couple of more weeks) :lol:
edit; I read your post wrong , thought you said days instead of weeks.

It's a single Irish Chain. They don't come any easier.
All those little quite blocks in a nice neat row made me pass it by. :roll: Mark chose a different pattern... maybe I'll let him decide if he likes this one better. :D
It looks just awesome all together. I don't see a block I'd move.
My latest project has been a Sunshine and Shadow (Around the World). Wait till you see all the seam junctions in that one. If you do your pressing right, they all fall into place. I haven't even been pinning anything except the very long seams just to keep top and bottom from wandering.
