The last time I shared the hand-pieced Hollow 9 patch project, I had sewn the blocks into four sections. That was at the end of August! This week I pulled those sections back out and stitched them together into a small flimsy - 24 inches square.
I found a backing piece in the box of goodies Nann sent me. It's a pretty floral with tiny bouquets of pink and purple flowers. It required a couple seams to bring it to the right size/shape for the backing, but that didn't take too long.
I've been in the mood for a hand-quilting project for awhile, so it was really enjoyable to get started on it on Thursday night. It's such a treat to stitch along and look at each scrappy square! I'm using white 12 wt. Perle cotton for the thread.
Stars, hearts, seagulls, clouds, even cats!
