Hello Everyone,
I've made a bit of progress on my disappearing 9patch project this week.
Here's most of my 9 patches, all trimmed and cut in half both horizontal and vertical (as that's what makes them 'disappear' if you didn't know). I love the swirly yellow (Sunkissed by Sweetwater) paired with the almost-solids.
And here are half of my flying geese... sigh~ only half, as I calculated wrong when first cutting them out. I love the gray check (Sunkissed by Sweetwater) mixed with the almost-solids, too.
When I was first cutting this project out, I calculated 4 geese per block. But I am supposed to use 8 geese per block!! And then, I decided I needed this quilt a bit bigger, so have to make 5 more blocks, which means another 20 geese on top of the 80 more I have to do. BLAH!
Buuuuttt, as much as I hate the trimming, don't these blocks all look fantastic! Trimmed and squared up just right :) and that makes the piecing together go much easier too, of course. So it's well worth it.... maybe by next week I can actually start putting the blocks together ;)
Have a great weekend!
Linking up with Lorna, thanks Lorna!

Those are some pretty pieces, Dorian. Yes, it takes a lot of time to make and trim them..... But SO worth it! Looking forward to following your progress on this project!
Gorgeous blocks! Those two prints do look lovely with the almost solids. I hate trimming too, but the easier piecing is worth it in the end.
