The Turtle Not The Hare...

Definitely not at hare pace but I've been turtling along (it takes me forever to cut out the squares for the nine patches) and the Disappearing Nine Patch project destined for Chookyblue's Caring with Quilts has grown to...
Currently it measures 39" x 52" - about cot sized but the fabrics aren't really suitable for a cot quilt and the need is for something a little larger, so the next step is going to be to add borders, nothing fancy but hopefully enough to get it approximately lap quilt sized...as soon as I wrap my brain cells around the math of how wide I can cut border strips to fit around the centre out of the pieces of fabric I have on hand.

OK, come here tape measure and calculator we have work to do!

Happy Stitching...

The turtle always wins, remember slow and steady.
Very pretty colours.
