    Helen, your ideas are great. I too can't wait to get the pattern for the 9 patch blocks. We're on lockdown for the coronavirus here in Italy and I'm running out of things to do!

      Lynanne: bbQuilter explained how to do the 9 patch blocks somewhere in the forum, I remember reading it. So, make 5 small 9-patches (5 coloured 1 1/4" squares and 4 background 1 1/4" squares) with your coloured fabric and background fabric using 1 1/4" strips, and then cut 2.75" squares of your background fabrics for the other 4 squares. Assemble with your tiny 9-patches in the corners and middle.

      ps gee, I had better start my March squares, lol...

          Lynnanne...stay well and enjoy your quilting time. I haven't started March yet. Still three more February applique blocks to complete. Right now I go to work (because I am required to) and then I stay home the rest of the time. So happy to have my quilting hobby and lots of books to read.

              HelenW that looks great . I figured we would need 20wof strips dark/light/dark and 10 light/dark/light but please everyone don’t go cutting your fabric according to my figures. I am a risk taker with my fabrics
