When I make a quilt, if I have smallish pieces, I cut them into squares - 2 inch or 2 1/2 inch. Over time I collect a lot of squares. I had this box full, I've been sewing them together like this into 9-patch blocks. I can sit for hours and sew. 9-Patch blocks are easy and fun to make. I end up with stacks of blocks.
I can make quilts like this with as many blocks I have. Then I have to face it, I have to do the final stage, find backing, batting and make the quilts. For newborns at church I will put blues together for boy quilts, pinkish ones for the girls and scrappy for my friend in NJ who has been mentioning that she wore out the last quilt I made her, 15 years ago.
