Here is one block of 9 in my new quilt I am working on...

Wow, that's amazing. That is a very intricate design.
 
I piece it with a sewing machine, but I will be doing the quilting by hand. This is a pattern I found online...all the blocks will be the same, colors and everything. The curves were actually fun but the lengths were hard to predict, some were right on and some were short. I had to adjust for that when I squared each piece. It was the first time I did curves (google was very helpful) as well as the first time I have used paper foundations. Keep your fingers crossed ... I should have the rest of the blocks done fairly soon and we will see how it really looks!

How big are your blocks? It would probably drive me crazy working with anything less than 2 in squares to try to piece. I'll keep my fingers crossed :)! Excited to see them all together.

I'm currently working on a quilt for the second granddaughter for when she gets her big girl bed. It is very similar to her sisters since they will be sharing a bedroom. But since it has been awhile now, could not find all of the same fabrics. For the most part I had leftovers thank goodness.

The block I posted is 30.5” square. The smallest pieces are 2”.

I have to admit I was trying to figure it out thinking of a 2 inch square and counting out but then got to thinking it is hard to really tell with a picture so I had to ask. I did have to lol at myself when I read your response.

If you look closely at the top of the picture you can see my shoes for scale.

Well I saw something at the top. . . Just didn't realize they were shoes. Are you making it for a bed? That would fit a queen nicely I would think. Put a bigger sashing and you got a king size easy.
 
I got my quilt top finished today and since we were taking the dogs to the vet and Joann s is right down the road I went and got some broadcloth they have on sale this week for $1.99 a yard. Tomorrow we go see grandbabies so hoping to get the backing on Sunday so I can finally start quilting!
