It's a sickness

I found a pattern I just HAD to make right away. Ever have those? You are going along, minding your own business and then you see it. IT. The project you NEED, and you didn't even know it. I found IT the other night. Wasn't even sure WHY I needed it, just knew that I did. After I started piecing it, I realized WHY I needed it. It is more 9 patches! I swear it is a sickness, this 9 patch obsession of mine. Here is a pic of the new 9 patches:

The biggest difference between these and my last 9 patches is the size. These measure at a teensy bit over 2 inches for the whole block!

I decided I needed to make 2 of these..one for me and one for some friends. I had some batik squares that I bought when Shellie, Regina and I got together. I wasn't sure why I was buying them at the time, but I thought they would go great for this pattern.
Here is the finished top #1 (the other top is almost done). It measures in at 20 inches square and has about 375 pieces! I can't wait to finish these up. I think it is going to make a darling little table topper.



I also got 1/2 of my big 9 patches all finished up and hope to get the rest done today. Shellie and I are starting our 30's quilts today, too. We will be sewing together via the computer. What an age we live in!
Well, off to run one fast errand then back to the sewing. Hope to have more to report later!
