Almost half of the 9-patch blocks i need for the Twinkling Stars quilt are done. With any luck, I’ll have them finished before the end of the weekend and then can get started putting the top together. I’m piecing them by hand, as that’s the perfect thing to stitch while watching baseball games, and they finish at 3 inches.
There were quite a few good ideas in the comments yesterday and I’ve followed up on all them. So far, no luck but I’m keeping my fingers crossed that one of the avenues I’m exploring will result in a find of the fabric.
Baxter was insistent on getting in the picture of the 9-patch blocks. He climbs up beneath the board on which the background fabric and blocks are laid out. We think he’s curled up under there, but then all of a sudden his head appears.
Later on, he had to go rest in the hallway.

Cute squares – what fabric are you using? The colours are lovely! Even though I know the answer it’s hard to tell whether Baxter’s tiny and the blocks are big or the other way round!!

Lovely nine patches. Nice color collection. Of course Baxter is turning into the most beautiful kitty. Bonus – he’s a quilting kitty as well.
