i, of course, like to do things in The Most Complicated Manner Possible, so i didn't even discover the quilt-along till this past monday, putting me exactly three weeks and twenty-one blocks behind the rest of the group.
i shall be a blocking fiend.
here's the first week's worth, done in two days in a fit of blocking fiendishness. (okay, so each one only takes like six minutes, but i like to heighten the drama. quilting needs more drama.)
also, it must be said that i have never made a quilt before. i have started two quilts, but abandoned them somewhere in the piecing/sashing stages, and now they sit in loosely folded rectangles of dejection. so i'm thinking this nine-patch group will be proper accountability for me.
in the meantime, please aim all your Prosperous Quilting Vibes in my general direction. grazie, and happy wednesday.

your blocks look wonderful! thanks for joining in!
Love the vivid colours and patterns. Looks to be a lovely quilt - good luck!
Sorry, I have NO quilting vibes to send you, and I'm okay with that. They look beautiful though.
Nic, I so love quilts. They remind me of quiet evenings on my grandparent's front porch swing!
That's going to be a beauty!

Good for you - I haven't quilted in a long time, but I think some day I'll pick it up again. I look forward to seeing the finished product!
