Catch up on "Ohmygosh" quilt progress

My plan was to do these during our drive to Az, but I did not. I however did them in Az, but it was my last hand quilting project that I brought along. It took me about a week and a half. I did a lot of them poolside, balcony sitting or watching the the basketball games to the final four. Badgers made it to the final four, but lost...heart breaking.
I did think I was short a few blocks and when I got home I counted them and was short 7 blocks. So the last two days I finished the 7 blocks. I have been working on the the next step and am about 3/4 done of 446 blocks...mini 4 patches. So overall this quilt is coming along. Such a great project to do while watching/listening to TV.

I have heard this is a heavy quilt with all the pieces. So I am thinking I may just get some funnel and use that as the backing without batting. Then a simple quilting sitch. Als have some work shirts that I will use in the quilt with the half squares. Will try to use blues I think for that section. This is my hand sewing project so would like to take it down to AZ next winter/spring to work on. Not in favor of bring a sewing machine down that year.

Part one of block two

I began sewing these small four patches around the beginning of April. Just completed them yesterday and squared up the few final blocks. Now I will be ready to sew the four triangles to them and trim to 2 inches. I have decided to first do the shoe fly blocks those triangles in groups of ten and then see the four triangles to the four patches. This will give a bit more sewing variety. I however have several quilts waiting to be hand quilted so I may let this one rest a bit to do those. It is a good hand sewing project in the evening with Whiskers on my lap, so we will see. Here is a progress picture.

444 small blocks!

First step done..now to next step

Just finished all 525 small blocks all pressed and trimed. Now starting the next step. We will see how many I get done during car ride to Arizona and back.

This will be a cute quilt but will take some time to do it. It also is a lot of fun.

3rd 100 blocks pressed and trimes

Here are the cute blocks, the next 100. That makes the total up to 300. They are so cute when trimed.

200 block met (plus 50 made into step 2)

Just a update on these cute little squares. I am so happy how they are turning out! I try to hand sew somewhere around ten and evening. It is fun taking the inch blocks and using different combinations.
Here are some pictures.

Progress report...

I have completed 156 - 9 patches. They are all hand sewen and are scraps. I try to do about 10 a night when Whiskers is sitting on my lap. They go pretty quick and love selecting the fabric to go into the blocks. I estimate the quarter inch, but after pressing I trim them to 2 inches. They are pretty cute. 50 I have put into blocks to see how they look at next step. But want to go step by step as is a great portable sewing project. Here is a picture of a few of them. (First 100)...

The color is not great as took this early evening.

Progress note..

I have completed 5 main blocks..nine patches..very cute. This will be a fun project in between others. Hand sewing so great for travels especially our trip to Arizona in February 2015.
