I haven't had a chunk of totally mindless sewing time in a while.
The other day I came into my Hidey Hole,
pulled out some nine patches I had made quite some time ago,
found my box of Kaffe scraps
and began to cut.
Making nine patches is totally mindless sewing to me
and Nine patches I made.
I had made a few of these some time ago
and had put them aside,
not knowing what was going to be made with them.
A lot of the 2 1/2" Kaffe squares were already cut,
but the polka dots needed to be cut to make the nine patches.
I just sat in here with Netflix playing
and sewed and sewed.
One thing I like about Kaffe fabrics
is how the colors are the same tones
from the older fabrics to the newer fabrics.
They can be paired together and they look
like they are from the same time frame.
Last night I prepped four projects for machine quilting.
The Christmas Tree Skirt will be quilted today and tomorrow....
I hope!
I was hoping to have these pumpkin wall hangings done
by now,
but we had visitors over the weekend!
I'm linking to Design Wall Monday
over at Small Quilts and Doll Quilts.
Happy Quilting!

When you make a tree skirt, do you cut the slit and center hole after it is quilted? I am hoping to get my frame up and running soon so I'm starting to think about how things get done.
Bright and Juicy Kaffe prints take my breath away and the polka dots make me smile. I love love love this one.
Seeing your post this morning (while at work, shame on me)really made me crave some time in my sewing room. Love your 9 patches! They are so bright and happy.
I haven't even stepped foot in my sewing room since last week Sunday and I'm going through withdrawal.
Love your 9 patches. What a colorful and comfy looking quilt they are going to make.
Those are great nine patches! Sometimes those are the best projects. I need one of those after my crazy week/weekend. Have fun quilting your other projects!
I love that you finally had some much needed mindless sewing, you've been a busy lady! Those polka dots are just right for this project!
That mindless sewing is so therapeutic and when you end us with such gorgeous blocks, it's a win/win! You have been so busy lately and I am glad you were able to get away to that hidey hole.
Those 9 patches are fun!
