This is so much fun it should be banned in 34 states.

Have you tried it?  The speed 9-patch method?  Surely I'm the only one late in joining this parade.

There are several tutorials, I found a good one here.

To test, I pulled out some pre-cut 5-inch squares, which turned into 4-inch 9-patches.  Cute, but rather small.

 So I pulled some colors to process 6" squares.

For a 9-patch that will be similar to these colors, but brighter.

This bar quilt is from Country Threads.  Of course I want to make one of these also.

Sigh, sew many quilts, sew little time.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
