Cancer Quilt - Part 3

The long-promised quilt update is here!  Although I've been spending most of my time on other projects, there has been a bit of progress in the quilt's status.  Since the last post where all of the fabrics were cut, all of the nine-patches have been assembled.  I started by laying all of the squares out on the floor to make sure I liked the arrangement.  (Just ignore the mess - nothing is in the same place as it was in this picture anyway!)


I didn't want any of my nine-patches to be the same, and I wanted to make sure the same fabrics weren't always next to each other.  After I was happy with what I had, I sewed them all together.



The blocks have all been pressed and now they need to be trimmed and then each cut into four pieces.

I don't plan on working much on this quilt in the next couple weeks because I got our wedding quilt back from the shop a couple weeks ago and now I need to finish it so we can hang it up!  But I figure I should have lots of time for it and other projects while I'm in isolation :)
