Breakfast at Tiffany's

Mackenzie and I watched Breakfast at Tiffany's for the first time not too long ago.  What a great movie!  It has got to be one of the best ever.  I found a blog that is giving away a Breakfast at Tiffany's fat eighth bundle.  Go check it out and enter to win (and Steph, if you win, save it for me!).  It is at Green Fairy Quilts.  She also has lots of precut fabrics and her own patterns for sale.  It's a great web site!

More on my quilt

I'm working on my quilt almost every day.  I never seem to have time to work on it for more than an hour at a time.  I'm pretty sure that a "disappearing 9 patch" is not the best quilt for a non-sewer, non-quilter to start with! I also should have made my patches a little bigger.  Learning along the way!  Here is what I'm doing....

I cut out 2 inch strips in a light and a dark fabric.

Sewed the strips together.  One with 2 lights and a dark and another with 2 darks and a light.

Then I cut the strips into 2 inch segments.

And sewed them together to get a 9 patch.  This is where I should have stopped!

But, no...I wanted a disappearing 9 patch.... so I cut each patch in half both ways

I made 4 of these and put them all together.

Next, I flipped some of them around 

and sewed it all together.

Here's what I have so far.  Any suggestions on how to put it all together?

Pictures of quilt blocks

Here is the first full block I made.  It is a disappearing 9 patch.  

  This was the 2nd block I attempted to make.  NOT so good!

Surely it had nothing to do with the beer???!!  (by the way... the Sam Adams Cherry Wheat beer is the BEST)

Here it that block after I sorta fixed it up a little!  Still a little off, but it'll work.
