I went cruising along, making my 10 blocks a week and posting them on Instagram, all along trying to figure out my ultimate goal for this quilt. I decided that I wanted to make a rectangular quilt that would fit over the back of my recliner chair. I came up with a preliminary design using Electric Quilt software.
This particular layout requires 122 nine patch blocks, so by week 13 I had all the blocks I needed with a few extras for good measure.
I have chosen a tone on tone beige print for my background fabric:
And I have a box of extra squares that I cut along the way to use in the border.
For now, it's been small projects like cross stitch that have been keeping me busy. Wish me luck on the move. It's been an eye opening experience to realize just how much "sewing stuff" I have accumulated over the years.
