I could finish the other 50 or so, if I really wanted to, but I've been trying to make this very scrappy. I don't want to reuse a lot of fabrics, so I wait till I get through one project, and use those scraps to sew my 9x9 blocks.
I'm also cheating a little. Sewing 9 little 2.5 by 2.5 squares together is hard work, ya'll! I wrote a little tutorial about it! You end up with two blocks and the same amount of work!
Oh, and with all the Christmas projects I have going on now, I kind of wish I had stuck to a theme. Like Bison Girl's Red & Green Christmas quilt. Its holiday fantastic! Maybe next year I'll do a Christmas 9 patch quilt???

lindsey, Thanks so much for the scrap bag! I LOVE the fabrics. I've already put a fair number of them to use for my 9x9 one-a-day blocks. :)
My mom taught me to do nine patch that way with the strips.
Of course I wanted every one to be different...
