A couple of years ago, my
"wacky" friends came up with an idea of trading 2 1/2" squares. So we began cutting and cutting and cutting..... 1200 squares later, I still have squares left..... what to do? Hummmmmm
I scanned through some of my quilting magazines. This one is from 2008 but has some great designs. I chose a nine patch mixer which I will reveal later.
36 nine patches are done but not trimmed up yet. That's will have to wait until tomorrow. Stay tuned.

One of the benefits of doing a swap like this is you shouldn't end up with too many repeats, if any!! At least you are starting to put a dent into this project!!!!
You will be dreaming of 9-patch blocks, I'm sure (and making them in your sleep). :)
When I lived in Florida, a LQS had a "first saturday" event each month, and those members received 2.5 inch squares of the new fabs in the shop. My favorite quilt is a queen size made from all those squares. Everytime I look at it I think about those fun days and smile. You will feel the same when your quilt is finished. Can't wait to see the pics.
You have some fun crazy friends....looking forward to seeing your nine patch put together.
That's a LOT of squares, but you've made a nice dent with those 9 patch blocks! I'm looking forward to seeing what you make with the blocks - something tells me it's not going to be a simple 9 patch project, lol!
