This was not a UFO but it still took 3 years to make.
Each of those 9-patches finishes at 1.5". ONE AND A HALF INCHES! Those are little suckers. My BEE friends and I swapped every other month for 3 years. Some months I made extras. After all that time and sewing and swapping - my quilt ended up 65" x 76".
No border just binding. Out came the binding bin ...
This is all left over bits of binding. And yes, there are a couple of really long ones - not exactly "leftover". I have on occasion cut binding twice for the same quilt.
I pulled out different black bindings and gave my Tiny9's a scrappy finish.
Quilting - all-over meander. The quilting is not the star of the show. I used the GLIDE foot on my Handiquilter - it's wonderful! There was one seam that let go and the foot did NOT slide under. It also does not "push" the fabric when encountering bulky seams.
When I was done, this was what was left ...
