Nine Patches are Next

I like quilt math, but mathing out each round on the baby blocks is testing my skill.  I rarely plan very far ahead and since I was working with parts intended to be rows made over 25 years ago I just joined the baby blocks into a rectangle and moved forward.  So now each round is a new test of how to make it all fit.  

The next round is repurposing the strip of 9-patches set on point.  I have them unsewn with their setting triangles, but I think I am going to have to remove the triangles as well.  My 25-year-old seam allowances are just too "scant."  This round will likely keep me busy all week! 

Little by Little it is Coming Together

Wow!  The photo really shows the different whites in the old and new 9-patches.  They are not that noticeable in real life.  Hmm.  Something else to ponder.

I have a new appreciation for medallion quilts.  I never thought about the precise math involved to make it all work when each round is pieced.
