Nine Patches in Progress

I have been making nine patches from five inch charm squares of black and white fabric.  I have 20 of them made and am getting ready to cut them apart, insert sashing and sew them back together again.

Here is the sashing I have picked out.

If all goes well, the sashing will have a woven look when finished and you won’t be able to recognize that the blocks started out as nine patches.  Wish me luck!

I am teaching this summer in Las Vegas and I need to get this sample made so I can get the supply list ready.  It works in my head so let’s hope it works in fabric.
