it’s music to my ears

My very first quilt was from a precut kit of 6.5” squares.  I was so excited about sewing those squares together in nice rows that I collected a bunch of music fabrics and cut most of them up into 6.5” squares. 

Then they got pushed to the wayside and now since I’m in a git ‘er done mode I really want to get rid of the stacks by making something, so, I sorted through the stacks and divided them into groups of nine squares


I made a practice 9 patch

Then I quartered it, turned the pieces til I liked how they looked and sewed them back together.  It’s called a disappearing nine patch.  I like it.  So I’’m going to do some more and end up with a pretty large quilt by the time I’m finished.
I’ve been putting the smaller squares together to make the sets of 3 that will become 9 patch squares.

I’ve got seven 18” squares so far.

Once I get them all sewn together then I’ll cut them all into fourths and finish them.  I think I may put sashing  between the rows.  I’m going to take a couple of the squares to the stitchers garden –home of  1 million  several thousand bolts of fabric.  If I can’t find somethin in  red or the kind of goldy brown then they don’t make it
