It's always good to start at the beginning....

Although, it looks like this project is beginning in the middle.

We have a quilt top that is quite complete - although it doesn't have borders.

It has 7 blocks across and 11 blocks high. The blocks alternate a simple 9 patch with a solid block.

Stephanie decided that we should split the quilt into smaller units and converge each of the units with fabric. Possibly converging the units using two different fabrics.

And she decided that the quilt should be divided into a kind of 9 patch unit. As you can see in the picture, each unit will be 3 blocks wide and 3 blocks high.

And so, the first project will be to cut the units out of the quilt top. We will end up with spare parts, of course. Based on how I see this needs to be taken apart, it looks like we will be able to re-sew the "spare parts" together into additional block units.

Time will tell....and we will report our progress.

Happy Quilting!
