Two Extremes

So, fuelled by all your nice comments yesterday, I got on and made another 9 Crazy Nine Patches this morning.
I was a bit more careful in stacking my squares and I think it paid off when matching seams - there are still quite a few that will never match but I can live with that.
I did do a bit of re-pressing of seams to avoid bulk and in general I am pleased and will batter on as they say........For those of you interested in such details, the fabric is "Summertime" by Barbara Jones of Quiltsoup for Henry Glass.
After lunch, this time fuelled by a tin of Heinz tommy soup, I set about making a mini block, in case I am accepted for the Doll Swap............I kept telling myself it wasn't taking any longer than making a normal block and to remember it would end up as a mini quilt. So after a lot of faffing about, trimming etc I ended up rather seduced by the final result.............
How cute is that? - measures 3 1/2" at the moment.

    That little block is fantastic! Just out of curiosity ... where did you find the foundation pattern for it?

    the crazy nine patches are fantastic Sheila. Isn't it frustrating when you have lovely fabric sitting there and your mind goes blank on what to use it for. You made a great choice!
