I kept fondling all those pretty squares that some rctq-ers sent me
when Yoda died. I've said it
before, but I was just so touched by that gesture. I really wanted to
do something special with
those little squares.
So I took them and made a twin-sized quilt top. Very simple, kind of a
nine-patch-type thing with
squares set on point. I used every single one of those squishies.
It's not quilted yet, and I am *not* a good picture-taker, but I do
want to show it to you.
I hope you guys can spot your squishies, and know that I just love
this quilt. It's going to
be my new favorite couch comfort-quilt.

Thanks again.

That is so lovely Sherry. I had forgotten how 'on point' changes the whole
look of the quilt. The 9 patches make a great border and give it a bit of
zing.
Well done.

Thank you so much. I truly enjoyed every minute of making that quilt.
It was so
easy it just fell together. I know it's a simple one, but I am just
goofily proud
of it. It will look much better when it is quilted. I was thinking
maybe just
diagonal straight lines that won't overwhelm the squares themselves,
or
crosshatch or something like that.

It's lovely Sherry. Well done you. I agree with Roberta, those
9-patches are a great border for you un-fussy centre. Lovely.
