Mini 9 patches assembled, partially quilted

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.

I am reporting on some progress in my sewing area last weekend.

In my last blog post, I showed some mini 9 patches I had assembled.  And they are miniature - each little patch finishes at 1/2 inch.

I now have a little top:

I thought about sending this as my contribution to the doll quilt swap I am part of.  But the borders are wavy - I must have stretched them when sewing them on.  I am too lazy to take them off and redo them.  The center lays flat at least.

A close up:

And partially quilted, by machine:

About 17 inches square.  Not instant gratification, but pretty quick gratification!  And easy to manage on a domestic sewing machine.

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.
