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.
