9-Patches Continuing for this Worktable Wednesday
I just wanted to touch base about what I am working on for this Worktable Wednesday. The 9-Patch units for Jack’s Chain will probably be on my worktable for a while. I normally don’t have time to play in the sewing room on Wednesday, but I was blessed with an hour of time, and of course, I made good use of it.
Jack’s Chain Chaos
Because I am trying to be a bit more fussy with this scrap quilt, there seems to be a bit more chaos. Oh, well, what’s a little more chaos in a pretty chaotic season right now? The goal is to make as many unique strip sets as I can. This should help with color arrangement and movement throughout the quilt. It is definitely not how I usually create the scrappy quilts. In general, I tend to just pull colors out of the box, and as long as they aren’t the same color family, I go with it. We will see if the effort was worth it at the end of the project.
9-Patch Center Units
Little by little, I am piling up the center part of the 9-Patches. There are enough center units for 322 9-Patches. I am about halfway there with the top and bottom units. However, if my calculations are correct, I will need a total of 540 9-Patches. Ultimately, this will not be a quick project. Nevertheless, I will enjoy the project as it keeps my brain busy.
Worktable Wednesday
Hopefully, this evening, I can squeeze in a couple of machine quilting rows for this month’s UFO. I have another quilt waiting in the background, so it is important for me to be productive.
