March 2022, full size quilt "Double 9 patch"


 This quilt was made from the huge bag of fabrics that Tommy gave me a few weeks ago.  The last quilt I posted was made from the same bag.  Tommye had made several blocks for the "courthouse steps" quilt, and also several blocks for this one, "Double 9 patch".  Each piece measures 1 inch finished.  I usually don't do quilts with pieces this small but Tommye started it, I had to finish it.  Also, when I cut  up my scraps, I always end up with stacks of 1 1/2" squares, which means I have quite a few ready to use.  This quilt is big, used a lot of thread and time.  It is fun to sew up a quilt that requires no real thinking or planning.  I quilted it with simple straight lines, horizontal and vertical  - no fancy swirls and circles in this one.
