New project: Mini 9 patches

 In my last blog post, I wrote of making mini courthouse steps blocks for a doll quilt exchange.  That meant that I had a box of 1 inch strips of fabric out on my work table.


Yes they finish at 0.5 inches wide!  And I had recently read this blog entry from Repro Quilt Lover on making tiny 9 patch blocks.  So I shortened the stitch length on my trusty old Kenmore and started sewing.


Small, cute, adorable.  I limited myself to 25 of them and I am now setting them together on point:


This is as far as I have progressed, as of this morning.  No plans for this project, just fun.

Linking up with Melva Loves Scraps, Wednesday Wait Loss, Needle and Thread Thursday, Put your Foot Down at the Quiltery, Nina-MarieFinished or Not at Alycia Quilts, From Bolt to Beauty, Oh Scrap at Quilting is more Fun than Housework.

Those tiny 9-patches are darling. Setting them on point is going to make a lovely quilt. Well done with those small pieces.
