Caught up in the Nine Patch Quilt Along
When I say "caught up" I mean that in two ways. I am totally fixated on these blocks. I love the simplicity. I am "caught up" in the fascination of imagining quilters all over the world working away at this task all at the same time. I am "caught up" in the making of at least one of these blocks each day as per Crazy Mom's instuctions. I am constantly looking at my fabrics, thinking of which ones to put together. When my sewing machine quit on me, I had to leave the nine patches. It was a sad time for me. When I got my machine back, I was about two weeks behind. But now I am "caught up"! I have finished a total of 46 blocks! I think that is about where we are right now in the quilt along. These are some of my latest ones.

Love your 9-patches! Fascinating idea indeed, all those quilters working on the same project! That’s why I loved crazymom’s first two quilt-alongs so much.
I’m behind on schedule and started working on another 9-patch quilt-top... cause a girl needs more than one 9-patch project...doesn’t she?!
I’ve been cutting up a storm this morning so I’ll have my sewing-machine purring like crazy!
Happy weekend!
such pretty colors!
Gosh Hetty, this is a beautifully written, heartfelt post. I enjoyed reading it. I loved your play on words and got "caught up" in the piece on piecing.
