9 patch in repro fabrics is now a top

 Hello, and welcome to my blog.

My finish this week is not quite a finish - but taking a set of blocks to a top.

I wrote in This Post about starting a "quick and easy" new start - nine patch blocks using jelly roll strips of 1930's reproduction fabric from a recent purchase.  Well, it was time for sashing the blocks and setting them together.

Oh no, not all the same size!  I should have measured and trimmed the blocks, I see now.  Maybe the jelly roll strips varied in width, but it's much more likely my seam allowance was not constant.  It was somewhat frustrating.  

Here we are, now a top.  About 60 inches by 80 inches?  The blue of the sashing doesn't quite match the blue of the border fabric.  I purchased both on line so one is at the mercy of your monitor - which affects the color you see.

I made lots of nine patches and didn't count, so these are my leftovers:

This project has been folded up and is in time out for now.  Not to worry, I have other Unfinished Objects (UFO's) around to keep me busy this summer.
