I’m getting the little green quilt done. This one is for Jayden and it’s made up of left-over pieces and scraps from her mom’s. Here’s a picture of the twisted nine-patch. It’s a really easy patch that looks terrific when it’s done. You make a standard nine-patch, cut it in fourths, turn two of the quarters (diagonal from each other), then just stitch it together again. Voila, easy-peasy, and Bob’s your uncle!
I found these with the scraps that I didn’t use on the big quilt. This one I am quilting as I go and joining the sections after top-stitching. Cheating, I know, but school’s going and I want to make two more little blankies this spring for my other two sweeties. I don’t have grandchildren, so my nieces and my nephew will have to fill in.
School might be a bit of a challenge this term. I am not to the point of needing diet pills to stay up all night and study, and I won’t get there if I keep up.

Macroeconomics and e-commerce will both be interesting but challenging.

The pineapple quilt has got me in its grip. Here’s some pics of possible layouts.
I found a new (to me) patch…. the disappearing nine-patch. Go here to see it.

So now it looks like the border will be the disappearing 9 patch.. It’s a real trick block and I whipped through 24 of them in no time. I used only 2 colors with a contrast for the middle block.
