Nine Patch One A Day Quilt A Long: WIP

My nine patch quilt has been in progress for the last couple of weeks and I can't wait to have time to work on it. It is from crazymomquilt's quilt along from this summer. Sewing had to take a time out as I went back to school a couple of weeks ago, and I am working on grading 150 essays and getting lesson plans ready for my leave. I really want to work on this soon! I feel as if I am so close to having the top done, but it is just languishing on my ironing board until I am caught up at work. For now I will just look at the picture and think of it being finished.

I have another one in progress too that I am using all of my nine patches from the 3x3 swap twiddletails hosted this summer-I have about 55 of the 70 blocks done for that one.:) I am loving nine patches currently. Hope everyone has a wonderful 3 day weekend! I am going to be a grading machine.

This looks so pretty! I love nine patch, too. It's amazing all the color and patterns possible with simple squares.

Sounds like you've a busy weekend in preparing for leave. I know you'll be missed, but your students will be in good hands for all the work you've done. Be sure to get some rest and have a little fun!
