I just.. did. I got a sewing machine for Christmas last December and decided it was time to try a quilt. So I looked at the Oh, Frannson quilting website and decided that that quilt along was waaaay too difficult. Then I saw this 9-patch quilt and decided I would do that. So I went to Hobby Lobby, picked out 3 coordinating prints and 4 or 5 matching solids and went to town for a week cutting out all my squares. I decided it would be 49 patches total-- 7 across and 7 down. Now I have all the squares laid out on our guest bed and I have the first 2 rows all sewn and ironed and everything. It takes a lot of time (especially since I'm a new mom) but it's so fun to have this project. I've been researching this sashing stuff and hopefully I can make it work when it comes time.

Yours is so very pretty!! I am VERY behind....only the first 11 blocks done and I had to buy fabric since I really didn't have any around to work with. If I am not too late, I would love to join this quilt-a-long and post a picture of those first blocks. Thanks!

I didn't think much of it, but on a whim, I decided to e-mail him this afternoon to tell him to check his credit card statements. Since he's pretty attentive when it comes to money matters, I figured he'd have noticed if he was getting some weird charge.<br /><br />Lo and behold, they've been charging him since March! He called today, yelled at the Easy Saver people, and sent ProFlowers a nastygram. Thank you so much for telling everyone about this!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08920268613598633058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-87829903428981237472009-06-03T20:31:04.719-05:002009-06-03T20:31:04.719-05:00Wait a minute.
