Do you ever look around your craft/sewing room and think, " I will never live long enough to use all of this fabric/yarn/cross-fabric/floss." I came to that conclusion last summer. I think it was prompted by the fact that I had just been diagnosed with breast cancer. It was found early, but it did make me look at my life a little differently. Since then I have been working on cleaning out my sewing room. I have sold several quilt kits, that I knew I would never get around to making. I have also sold a machine, a Singer 301 that I had never used.
One of my resoultions this year is to finish some projects that were started years ago, or to pass them on to someone else. I also want to use some of my stash of scraps. I have been pleasantly surprised at the number of "Stash Buster" projects that are on Facebook, and Instagram.
I was excited to find "The Tiny Nine-patch Challenge" on Instagram by reproquiltlover. The challenge is to make 5 tiny nine patch blocks each week. There are three size options, 3 inches, 2 1/4 ,or 1 1/2 inches. Yes these are the finished sizes. This definitely won't use a lot of fabric, but it is fun. If interested head over to Instagram and check it out.
Here are my first five blocks
