Two more blocks finished!! I was about to tear my hair out doing the second block...those little 9 patches were a huge challenge. I couldn't get the pieced together little blocks to match the plain blocks and ended up re-cutting and re-sewing and also a little frogging!! Beautiful results tho...I can see this block with just the middle and solid sashing between the blocks. It definetely is challenging doing these blocks with no instructions. I did do the nine patches by rotary cutting strips, but still took a lot of effort keeping things even.
I also got more of the other quilt blocks...yesterday I went to Ross and got a sheet set for the backing and am excited about starting the quilt as you go process on that quilt. And of course, that means I can start planning the next quilt in my head (okay, I've already been thinking about it :)
I do love quilting and I am trying sooo hard to get better at it....it's a good thing I have lots of family that love my practice quilts :)
