Ah, the mini nines. I do enjoy these little blocks, finishing at 4.5", and all the variety the contain. I ran out of red options, which is just fine. Several "awkward" fabrics were perfect for this, as they don't need to match anything, or look a certain color, or do anything but be their colorful selves. I have no idea how the quilt will end the year, as I didn't pay attention to anything but cutting from unique scraps.

I love how you're setting those mini 9-patches. They really come into their own with the frame.
your mini 9s are great! they'll make a wonderful scrappy quilt at the end of the year (or whenever you finish it!)
Way to knock out your Tiny Nines in RED!! You've made a REALLY good start on that Orphan quilt, too. Go, you!!
I love your tiny nines with all the different borders! I can't remember - are you making a whole quilt out of just those blocks or do they go together with something else? I think the scrappy look of the tiny nines the way you're making them would be such a fun quilt!
What fun design you have going on. Finishing up the borders first to limit the scope is a brilliant idea.
Love those mini 9s - so fun and happy!
Looks like some really interesting projects on the go. It is great to have something like the RSC to give the motivation to get some of these things progressing.
I love your mini nines! (I'm a big fan of tiny blocks!) And your orphan project looks intriguing. I hadn't thought of doing the border first, but it'll really help with visualizing the whole as you build the parts.
Sweet little mini nines! I like your idea of mixing up the outer parts with some odd fabrics.
Very fun scrappy quilts. You've been getting lots done. The orphan block quilt looks great.
Looks like so much fun working on those orphan blocks and cobbling together a quilt. The mini nine patches look happy surrounded by colour.
I love little blocks but I think those little nine patches are too small for me. One breath and I'd have the scraps scattered all over and not be able to see them. They sure are super cute!
