Tiny Nines

I believe I am remiss in posting a "critical" photo of that crazy nine patch I have been working on lately, also known as "Tiny Nines".  Thankfully, the nine-patch block to work with is 2"x2", but will be 1.5"x1.5" finished (and that is quite tiny for sure)!  So to make myself "more crazy", I forged ahead for several days to finish my contribution of Tiny Nines for 2015 for my Possibillibees.  If I counted correctly, it means I made 360 two-inch blocks, but, of course, made some extra, so my total is close to 400 of these crazy tine nines.  I can just about guarantee that this will be the one and only time I make a pieced quilt block this small (and it was done in strips!).  Someday, either later this year, or in the next 18 years, I will finish the entire quilt, comprised of about 1,000 tiny nines and 1,000 of "plain" squares (2"x2" of fabric/not pieced).  It will be a heavy one due to all the threads and seams!

BSoleille!  The bright side of teenie weenie tiny nines.
