Sunday i started out putting together 6 stitcheries that were stitched before Christmas from Gail Pan. I only manged to piece 3 of them before number 1 GS arrived to mow the lawn & the 4th before number 2 GS arrived to stay the night. Trying to sew around grandchildren is a bad idea, especially when number 1 GS takes to your pattern with the rotary cutter which had just had a new expensive blade put in. Grr. Luckily the pattern is a PDF so i can reprint that cut page.
Today i set to & pieced the remaining 2 blocks & put the top together.
Crazily i've decide to join reproquiltlover in making 9 patch blocks over on Instagram. Taryn is making the 1-1/2" blocks but like most of the people sewing along i went with 3" blocks.
I forgot to show my pineapple lily the other day. They are flowering well this season.
Happy Stitching,

Nice to get that panel put together despite interruptions. I think I would turn that tiny square into a pincushion and stick with the 3" ones!! xx
Pleased you could get all the lovely stitcheries put together.
Enjoy making your small pieces into 9 patches.
The blocks look good all together. Gotta love grandies, even if they do test us.
good to see the stitchery top together..........
always great to make nine patches......so simple but so effective.......
I think you are right - grandchildren and sewing do not mix well.
good to see the stitchery top together....looking forward to the finish . . .
Good you finally got your stitcheries together despite grandchild help!! Your 9 patches are great, I would be sticking with the 3inch ones. Lovely flower on the pineapple lily.
Hehe with the teeny tiny blocks....I saw that and was tempted too! A good way to use those precious little pieces.
